Publisher: Baltimore Sun, 2004ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Cancer -- Treatment | Cancer in children | Palliative treatment | Terminal care | Terminally ill childrenDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Treatment gives R.J. Voigt an additional year of life--and intense pain. Across the country, children and those who care for them struggle with hard choices as death nears." (BALTIMORE SUN) This article, the second in a series of four, chronicles the struggles of R.J. Voigt and other critically ill children and notes that "around the country, physicians handle end-of-life care for children vastly differently. There is no agreed-upon model, and efforts to create one are at an early stage. Many doctors and nurses agree: Their capacity to treat has outstripped the discussion of whether they should. But there is little science to guide these decisions, and a lifetime to regret them. It is easy to do too little, or too much."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
