determine how much time was spent with dying patients. The study was published on October 1, 2001 in the American Journal of Medicine.According to Daniel P. Sulmasy, MD, PhD, an ethicist and Franciscan friar who placed the
surveillance cameras, the nursing and medical staff did not object to the surveillance cameras."They seemed to be OK with it" he said. "At the end of the study, we qualitatively asked the
