Screening of "Extremis" with Dr. Jessica Nutik Zitter

  • Pierson Hall 5000 Holmes Street Kansas City, MO, 64110 United States (map)

Free & Open to the Public

There is a public health crisis that touches all of us: people dying badly. Without knowing our options, we become subject to what Dr. Jessica Nutik-Zitter calls the “end-of-life conveyor belt”; when mechanization and protocol override personal preference and collaborative decision-making.

Join Dr. Zitter as she explores the question; “What do we really want from ourselves, our loved ones and those entrusted with our care when it comes to death?”

Free Parking on Levels 5 & 6 of the Cherry Street parking structure.

Books are available for sale at this event.

This event is supported by the Kansas City Society of Palliative Medicine.

Witness the wrenching emotions that accompany end-of-life decisions as doctors, patients and families in a hospital ICU face harrowing choices. Now Streaming on Netflix.
