Facing End of Life Death (Frontline)

Frontline played "Facing Death" in 2010.  It deals with end of life issues, specifically in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a hospital.  People used to visit the ICU to get better.  They would hopefully respond to treatment and walk out the door and go home.  Now people are going to ICUs to die.  More Americans now die in hospitals than anywhere else.  100,000 Americans are on life support, at a cost of  at least $20 billion annually.  Technology, medical technology,  improvements in medicine and medical care prolong life, but they do not cure death.  Plan ahead!  Have a Living Will ready.  Be kind to your survivors and pre-plan and pre-pay all of your end of life decisions:  full body burial, cremation, mausoleum, crypt, niche, etc.  You never know when you will die.
