Director's cut of the Emmy® nominated 2014 PBS film. Winner of 11 awards including two Bronze Tellys and the 2014 Global Film Awards Humanitarian Award. American medicine's success at fighting disease/extending life has created a new problem. That is, the vast majority of patients can now expect to die in a place and in a way that most wouldn't choose if only asked. Talking about how we want to live at the end of our life is now taboo, despite the fact that it is as natural as birth. Because of this cultural barrier, patients and families are suffering needlessly. It is a problem we never intended to create and one that must be solved, but how? Twenty one months in the making and entirely funded by private donations, "Consider the Conversation 2: Stories about Cure, Relief, and Comfort" explores some of the unintended consequences of American medicine's success and sheds light on the important role of the patient/doctor relationship and patient/doctor communication when living with severe chronic disease. Featuring Robert Fulghum and Drs. Diane Meier, Anthony Back, Allan Hamilton, Amanda Redig, Arif Kamal, Richard Payne, James Tulsky, Toby Campbell, James Cleary, Anthony Galanos, Joseph Bujak, Kerry Case, Therese Zink, Ken Murray, Kyla Lee, and the late Sherwin Nuland.
