I am really proud of our book “Empathy”, recently published by McGraw Hill. This is a great educational resource for clinicians who roll up their sleeves and advocate for their patients everyday - I hope you all enjoy!

[Shunichi Nakagawa @snakagawa_md]

To be more precise, I would say like

- When your last moment comes (not "if"),

- we will make sure you will not be in any pain (say something positive first),

- and we will NOT do things like tubes or machines.

- How does this sound? (give the chance they can disagree).
