In medical school, we learn about the science of death. We learn about the electrochemical changes in heart cells as EKG waves transition to asystole and the physiology of a failed apnea test in the setting of brain death. But being there in someone’s final moments is something else entirely—something no one teaches us about. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Shoshana Rudin, UWSMPH alumnus and current Emergency Medicine Resident at the University of Michigan, about her first few experiences with death as a medical student.
