A Physician's Perspective on End-of-Life Counseling
After nearly 30 years caring for patients with serious kidney disease, I've been present for countless end-of-life conversations. I've seen what happens when families are prepared—and when they're not. The difference is profound.
As a nephrologist, I've guided patients and families through some of the most difficult decisions in medicine: whether to start dialysis, when to stop, and how to focus on quality of life. These experiences taught me that the medical aspects are often the easier part. What families struggle with most is the conversation itself.
That's why I created Passaggio. I bring the medical expertise to help you understand what lies ahead, and the experience to help your family have the conversations that matter most—before a crisis forces them.
