This makes me so sad and angry. Please demand more doctors for patients in ????. Your life or the life of someone you love will depend on it. Vote for policies that help keep and attract doctors. #BeAHealthcareVoter #ONpoli #cdnpoli #cdnhealth https://t.co/COsOU7vgYV

� Some time ago, we posted on a unique service that helped facilitate end-of-life care decisions:

"Imagine you're at home. Maybe that's in Florida, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, wherever. You have cancer. You just had another round of chemo, and the phone rings ... This is no telemarketing call - it�s about the end of your life."
