Dr. Sunita Puri  was raised in a spiritual family who taught her the significance of not only life, but of death. Now as a director of Hospice  and Palliative Medicine Fellowship, she has spent an innumerable amount of hours helping terminally-ill patients and their family members make end-of-life decisions. 

Dr. Puri outlines this intersection of her family’s spirituality and her medical career in her 2019 memoir  “That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour”. 

In episode 19 of Beyond the Prescription Dr. Puri and Dr. McBride blend their collective experiences as medical professionals into an insightful and honest discussion about the role of medicine in the quality and quantity of life.
