  • Title: Boy Scouts for Henry.
    Author: Allen RE.
    Journal: Ann Fam Med; 2006; 4(1):79-80. PubMed ID: 16449401.
    Abstract:
    "Can we do anything for you?" The question was embarrassing. Henry had been poked and prodded and preserved far beyond his wishes. In a medical system that scorns comfort care, a resident physician is troubled by the case of an elderly man with poor quality of life. An awkward attempt at a Boy Scout service project emphasizes how poorly we comfort the terminally ill despite modern technology and interventionalism.
