Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
“Doctors and health professionals are very good at predicting when somebody is going to die within one to three days. They are also very good at predicting when somebody is likely to survive beyond one year. In between those times—a few days to one year—it is almost impossible for a doctor to give an accurate prognosis”.
