Dr. Clara Rimmer, Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine of NW Ohio Blanchard Valley Health System                                                                                                                    Modern medicine is capable of keeping people alive for longer than ever before. The question is do you want to be kept alive no matter what? Or are there circumstances, such as being permanently on a breathing machine, that you would find unacceptable? This presentation aims to explain some of the terms used to limit medical care, how those limits are actually applied, and tips on discussing this difficult topic with loved ones.
