		<description><![CDATA[Physicians must offer informed consent before every planned procedure.  We accept this as an ethical absolute: if we neglect informed consent then we violate a basic value of our profession.  Why? Because as a profession, and as a society, we believe patients should know the benefits, risks, and alternatives so they can make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week while serving at a free clinic in Columbus, I confronted a typical, but sad situation.  A 66-year-old lady with hypertension could not obtain her medications and could not visit her physician because her assistance check was late; she was poor and broke.  As a Medicare patient, she could not pay her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I applaud the House for including payment for these crucial discussions in their bill.  The provision simply recognizes that patients need more information to make good decisions and they need to receive that from their doctor.
The current system does not adequately reimburse physicians for this service, so hopefully the payment will be fair and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just last week I heard another alarming, but typical story.  My friend read A Death Prolonged and spoke with her mother about end-of-life options.  Her mother wants to die naturally and does not want CPR.  Therefore, she needs a Do Not Resuscitate order, written by a physician on the proper form.
She went [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PBS&#8217;s Religion and Ethics NewsWeekly filmed a story recently at Grant Medical Center.  They followed Dr. Gordon on rounds and filmed two end-of-life conversations with patients who had not previously discussed the issues.  They also spoke with an RN who is in hospice care and the ICU director at Grant.  Betty Rollin reported for [...]]]></description>
