Returning Guest, David Franco, talks with Anna about what it's like to go into congestive heart failure and the new issues he is facing when considering medical end-of-life care. He talks about how his congenital heart defect has affected his activity level over the course of his life and what changes he has seen in the last several years. Most importantly, David talks about the importance of each patient needing to be his or her own best advocate to determine boundaries and limitation for care and others need to be respectful of those choices.
