Abstract
The art of communication is an important skill to have when breaking bad news or discussing end-of-life care with patients and their next of kin. Especially for COVID-19 patients, the discussions surrounding end-of-life care can be challenging and may present as unexpected news to the patient and to family members. In this letter, we explore the use of technology in end-of-life care discussions with COVID-19 patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
