Dr. Butler explains the dense medical terminology that can baffle already-overwhelmed caregivers.

The actual impact and likely outcome of such treatments is far from the glamorous glow of TV medical dramas, but we need to know the stark reality in order to make God-honoring and merciful choices for ourselves and our loved ones.
