The Emotional Costs of Euthanasia

Sarah Hoggan DVM | TEDxTemecula

"Euthanasia is a decision that will echo in your mind long after the event. This talk explains that echo and why it occurs. Sarah has worked as an emergency doctor throughout her veterinary career. She feels her most important task as an emergency doctor is translating the medical diagnosis and clinical situation into a more understandable context for the family so they can make decisions feeling empowered instead of overwhelmed. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community."
