I wish we’d talked about this earlier…
Dr. Signout, over at, well, Signout, wrote an interesting piece the other day. It’s a piece that everyone should read and think about while they can, because you never know when you may need to think about this. One of the most dramatic procedures in any hospital is the CPR, also known as a “code…
