Advance directives may be markers of withdrawal of treatment, but other hospital events have a greater impact. Providers must perform more proactive discussions of end-of-life care.

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. โ These numbers tell a story.

Angioembolization is commonly utilized for management of high-grade splenic injuries. We found no difference in immune function, and therefore recommend against routine vaccination in these patients.: bit.ly/3WVc1rK
