Esta presentación incluye una sección de “preguntas y respuestas” después. El “webinar” original fue dado por el Dr. Grant Smith de Stanford, un doctor de cuidados paliativos, el 10 de abril, 2020. Dra. Winnie Teuteberg, también de Stanford, se une más tarde para responder preguntas. El enlace a la presentación en inglés: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJsggGkNHtc&t=935s.
