Then I Walked Into a Room in the ER and I Sat Down With a Man Named Mr Jones

A 72-year-old man was admitted to the ER with worsening shortness of breath. He had fluid built up in his lungs due to small cell lung cancer. The doctor gave him chemotherapy and told him he would likely only have months to live. When asked what he wanted, Mr Jones said: "I please go home. All I want is to be at home" Doctors were able to find a plan that fit this kind man's goals for his remaining days.
