Theresa Brown has a compelling story titled "A Dying Patient is Not a Battlefield" at CNN. She writes "there's another story to be told in these cases, and it's usually the nurse who's the observer of that narrative: the suffering caused by these well-intentioned treatments."
"Watching this patient suffer, not from his disease but because of what we did to him in the name of helping him, was agonizing. He'd wanted to 'keep going,' to 'keep on fighting,' but what did he really mean? . . . My patient's decision to 'keep fighting' seemed to be based on a misperception of what medicine could accomplish and of what the personal costs of our treatments would be."
