Facing the Unknown: Understanding Brain Death and What it Means
What is brain death? How is it different from being in a coma or just being unconscious? In this episode we are joined by Dr. Adam Barron, a neurointensivist, to tackle this challenging and oftentimes confusing issue. We talk about what brain death means, how it is defined medically and legally, and how to approach this very difficult topic with respect, dignity, and trust between patients, their families, and their physicians.
