AB THE  MANY  TIMES  I  practiced  chest  compressions  and  mouth-to-mouth  resuscitation  on  CPR  mannequins  for  basic  life  support  (BLS)  recertification,  I  never  imagined  the  surreal  experience  of  performing  CPR  on  my  own  mother,  in  her  bedroom,  in  front  of  other  close  family  members.  I  have  never  served  in  combat,  but  I  can  now  imagine  the  flashbacks  experienced  by  those  who  have  witnessed  the  horrors  of  war.  Memories  of  that  day  in  my  parent's  home  sometimes  jolt  me  like  an  electric  shock  during  conversations  about  goals  of  care  with  my  patients  and  their  families  on  the  palliative  consult  service.  One  such  conversation  remains  fresh  in  my  mind  from  just  a  few  weeks  ago.
