Episode Details

We talk with Dr. Jessica Zitter, a pulmonary critical care and palliative medicine physician, and author of Extreme Measures: Finding a Better Path to the End of Life. We talk with Jessica about her experience transitioning from being an ICU doctor to an ICU/Palliative doctor, how she is treated differently when she sees patients as an ICU attending vs a palliative care attending, the Big 3 (CPR, mechanical ventilation, and feeding tubes), and most importantly WHO she is wearing to the Oscars!
