I did not notice this at end of life care for my husband. As he was deteriorating during his last 6 months our doctors became more caring, spent more time with him and me preparing us for what was to come. They treated us both with so much compassion and caring taking their own time, not billed to anyone, to stop by and check on us and both sent beautiful cards after his death and called me a few weeks later to see if I needed anything and if I was taking care of myself. They were amazingly human. They are still my doctors and always will be.
