End-of-life care changes called for

End-of-life care changes called for - Health - CBC News: End-of-life care falls short of what the average person wants, says a new study that compares palliative care in the U.S. and Ontario. While most patients prefer supportive measures that avoid a hospital death, U.S. patients received more chemotherapy. Ontario patients have more days in hospital, have more use of emergency rooms, and were much more likely to die in hospital.
