Dr. McCann, a geriatrician, provides primary care for most of the aging nuns, who choose the Mother House rather than a hospital for their end-of-life care.

In the story and accompanying audio slide show, Dr. McCann provides his perspective on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship in making appropriate care decisions, which reduces stress and suffering for the patient.
