There is no doubt<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>that many physicians lack good communication skills, do not<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>explain situations well, are trained to see death as failure,<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>and may be too aggressive in treating dying patients. It is<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>equally true that patients and families often have unrealistic<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>expectations and false hopes. But the problems go deeper than<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>that. There is a wide gap between what the public believes technology<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>is capable of doing and what technology actually accomplishes.<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>Only when serious illness strikes do families begin to realize<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>that physicians can often do little to change outcomes. It is<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>certainly not well appreciated that large gaps in medical knowledge<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>remain and that many diseases elude treatment. For patientsand<br \/>\nfamilies who have so little knowledge of our failings, thetruth<br \/>\ncomes as a shock. For example, no one has publicized thedismal<br \/>\nstatistics about recovery from cardiopulmonary resuscitationin<br \/>\nelderly patients; the results are far different from whatis seen on<br \/>\ntelevision <a href=\"http:\/\/208.34.222.225\/bin\/rdas.dll\/RDAS_SVR=www.annals.org\/cgi\/content\/full\/126\/2\/164#R3-13\">[3]<\/a>.<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Many patients and families are ambivalent about what to do when<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>serious illness strikes and death becomes a real possibility.<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>Despite the Patient Self Determination Act of 1990 and campaigns<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>to encourage written advance directives, only about 15% of persons<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup>in the United States have executed such documents.

How can one be sure about how much pain one wouldtolerate<br \/>\nto see a grandchild&#8217;s wedding or to spend a few moredays or weeks<br \/>\nwith a loved one? This ambivalence also extendsto the hospice<br \/>\nmovement. Hospice offers humane care with anemphasis on the relief<br \/>\nof both physical and mental pain.
