With esld what questions should i be asking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some suggestions...: Some basic questions i'd ask are about the potential of liver transplantation and prognosis. I'd also start having frank and reflective discussions with your doctor about "goals of care", meaning, discussing all the interventions that can be done (dialysis or feeding tube or being on ventilator) and seeing if these align with your values or not.
