Doctors and End-of-Life Discussions

Many hospital patients who don't express their end-of-life wishes receive aggressive treatments that even their doctors say they wouldn't want for themselves. According to Dr. Phil Pizzo, dean emeritus of Stanford University School of Medicine, 80 to 95 percent of doctors say “they want to die outside the hospital. They want to die at home. They want to have their family around them."
