Guest: Lawrence Schneiderman, MD
Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD
Our guest today writes in his book, Embracing Our Mortality, that lawyers (as officers of the court) are not permitted to tell their clients to lie but physicians are under no such obligation. Under what situations would it be best for us to advise people to polish their recollections? Medical ethicist Dr. Lawrence Schneiderman joins host Dr. Leslie Lundt to discuss the role of the physician in end of life decisions.
