Detailed explanation-1: -Johnsy fell very seriously ill in November. She had pneumonia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prigerson and Dr. Lichtenthal recommend that doctors use a patient’s first name, say how sorry they are for the family member’s loss, and try to provide answers or reassurances when possible, such as answering questions about their relative’s last days or the medical care they received.
Detailed explanation-3: -“The Last Leaf” is a story of Johnsy, a poor young woman who is critically ill due to pneumonia. She believes that when the ivy vine on the wall outside her window would lose all its leaves, she would die too. However, her neighbor, Behrman, an artist, tricks her by painting a leaf on the wall. Johnsy recovers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Under one year, prognoses tend to be accurate within three months. That may mean three months short or three months long, but prognoses are more often overly optimistic. Doctors of various types, nurses, and radiologists can all make survival estimates with relatively equal accuracy.
