stop counterculturalism now

Oncologists only talk to advanced cancer patients 37% of the time about the "end-of-life." I think that is so sad, that our society is so pro-life and death-phobic that doctors neglect to discuss such an important event humanely with their patients. I first heard about this on the News Hour on PBS but it's gotten more play in the press recently, which I think is so important.

I hope the NIMH study on whether physicians discuss end-of-life issues gets a lot more press and sparks a greater discussion in American households.
