Presented by Connie Jorsvik, BSN, of PatientPathways.ca, join us to unpack what resuscitation and "heroics" actually mean in the context of serious illness, frailty, or dementia — so your wishes, not assumptions, guide the decision.
It is common to assume that emergency treatments like CPR or breathing machines will naturally be bypassed because of your age or health. However, in our healthcare system, the automatic rule is often to do everything possible unless specific legal forms are already in place. While many say they don’t want "heroics," few truly understand what resuscitation and critical care mean in the context of serious illness, frailty, or dementia.
Instead of leaving your loved ones to make difficult guesses during a health crisis, this session ensures you have the knowledge to ensure your wishes are known and respected.
At the end of our chat, we will open the floor for your questions.
Can’t make it? Not to worry, the recording will be emailed to all registrants.
