Mahveen Hussain

We are lucky to live in a society that values compassionate care for the dying.

Dr. Hussain

We should do our best to anticipate the needs of our patients and families, instead of waiting for a request, and we should always respect and understand the different ways death and dying are handled in the various cultures we serve.
