On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by my wife Doctor Carly Willemsma. We had a brief discussion about the all important end of life decision whether to get resuscitated and what to take into consideration if you want a Do Not Resuscitate order. Dr Willemsma did a great job sharing her knowledge and experience about the topic and I am certain you will find value from listening to this episode.
