What if the most ethical medicine is not: Here’s the hard truth. There is no hope. Instead, here’s what we know. Here’s what we don’t know. And here’s where possibility still lives. Possibility is not the same as false hope, it’s an open door. Framing things in terms of possibly instead of finality reminds the doctor, and everyone else in the room that they’re not the ultimate authority over life, death, and meaning. Possibility reminds us that everything we know today was, at one time, unknown.
