Alex Smith Featured in KALW Radio Segment "Racial Disparities in End of Life Care"
Alex Smith, MD was featured in a KALW radio segment about Racial Disparities in End of Life Care (4 minutes in). Quote, ""If you watch TV as most people do, you think 'hey yeah, if this happens to most people, bring me back. Restart my heart, go for it, ‘cause it happens all the time on TV.'“ says Dr. Alexander Smith. “Nobody wants the CPR, the chest compressions, the shocks, the breathing tubes. They want to like get back to their former selves, to go home. Not to live in the ICU on machines for a few days before dying."
