When a physician becomes the patient

I want to direct readers to the latest article in the New York Times "Months to Live" series. The article features Dr. Desiree Pardi, a palliative care doctor, who when faced with the end of her own life, decided to defy the usual advice she gives patients and fight the cancer until the end. The article explores the complexities of physicians' advice and how things change when the physician becomes a patient. I definitely recommend reading and contemplating.
