Description

Clinicians worry that families may request treatments in ways that are not aligned with professional judgment or depart from evidence-based practices. These circumstances may make it challenging to provide a coherent plan of care. Dr. Kuczewski examines some typical cases and explores strategies to cope with such difficult provider-patient relationships.
