Palliative Care for Transplant Pts

Katrina Bramstedt — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:56:56 GMT

A rarely discussed topic is palliative care for pts listed for transplant. Also, the topic of code status is controversial. To read more about this, see my new paper:

Bramstedt KA. Hoping for a miracle: supporting patients in transplantation and cardiac assist programs. Current Opinion in Supportive & Palliative Care 2008;2(4):252-255.

If you would like a reprint, let me know.
