Enjoy Life

From one patient, "Enjoy the day, enjoy the time. When your time comes ease on down the road." From another, "Illness is not defining me." This doc presents the philosophies of Calvary Hospital as well as home hospice care for those needing help w/debilitating illness or end-of-life care. It presents the desire of some to die w/dignity. Most of us fear death, and religion offers comfort in continual existence, but for others they choose to face it head on.

One negative is the lack of subtitling for most of the conversations because of the importance of the dialogue, and because at times it was hard to understand the conversations (also for those w/hearing issues).
