In this episode we talk about going to the hospital during this COVID-19 pandemic.  Visitors who have symptoms of COVID-19 are not allowed inside the hospital, so planning is needed for both the patient and family members.  The specific rules depend on the hospital and state you live in. Information that you need to put together before you go to the hospital is discussed.  We answer the question of how to know if you should go to the hospital.

We also talk about an interesting concept called a doula for people who are dying.  We explain what a doula is, what services they provide, and how to go about getting one.
