21 min - Jed Smith
It’s funny how some people randomly wander into your life and end up becoming good friends. I met Jed Smith in the Italian countryside while attending a wedding a couple of years ago. The night before the wedding of my dear friends, I found myself sitting next to him in the best pizza joint in Umbria. We sparked up the average small talk between strangers…
“So, what do you do?”, he asked.
“I work for hospice.”
“My mother had hospice!”
We hit it off from there…
Today we learn the intimate details of the life and death of Libby Smith-Cox her biggest cheerleader… Jed Smith, her son.

26 min - Dr. Jessica Zitter
Dr. Jessica Zitter, MD, MPH, is committed to changing the current paradigm of end-of-life medical decision-making. In today’s medical culture, the dying are often put on what she calls the “End-of-Life Conveyor Belt.” They are intubated, catheterized, and die attached to machines, frequently without even knowing they are dying.
In her work, Zitter builds bridges between patients and the healthcare team, striving to offer care aligned with each patient’s values and preferences. She has come to see that patients empowered with knowledge can die well, even beautifully.
Dr. Zitter practices the unusual combination of Critical and Palliative Care medicine at Highland Hospital, a public hospital in Oakland, Calif. She attended Stanford University and Case Western Reserve University Medical School and earned her masters in Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley. Her medical training includes an Internal Medicine residency at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and a fellowship in Pulmonary/Critical Care at the University of California, San Francisco. She is also co-founder of Vital Decisions, a telephone-based counseling service for patients with life-limiting illness.
Dr. Zitter is the author of Extreme Measures – Finding a Better Path to the End of Life, due to publish this month. She is a regular contributor to The New York Timesand her writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The Huffington Post, Pacific Standard,JAMA, andThe Journal of the American Medical Association. She is featured in the short documentary Extremis, which won top honors at the Tribeca and San Francisco International Film Festivals now streaming on Netflix.
She lives in Oakland with her husband, three children, and two dogs.
