When people find out they have a serious illness, it’s natural that they think of doing whatever it takes to prolong their lives. But the very methods of prolonging life sometimes means more pain and suffering for the patient. Host Dan Loney talks with Dr. Sunita Puri, Medical Director of Palliative Care and Support Care Services at Keck Hospital and Norris Cancer Center at the University of Southern California, about her mission to bridge medical care for devastating diseases and providing comfort and relief for the patient. Her new memoir, That Good Night: Life and Medicine in The Eleventh Hour, reflects on her own journey and examines how the field is evolving as patients and family members are looking forward to quality of life over quantity of time.

How often do you order delivery for a meal? According to data from research firm NPD Group Inc. and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, around 82 percent of meals were prepared at home last year, which is up by two percent from a decade ago. But there has also been a huge increase in people getting food delivered for meals. Now, you can get food from just about any type of restaurant and thanks to services like Grubhub, Seamless and Caviar, as well as online ordering systems, it's an option that’s spreading to all parts of the country. Host Dan Loney talks with Heather Haddon, Food and Retail Policy Reporter for The Wall Street Journal, to discuss her reporting on this shifting food delivery industry on Knowledge@Wharton.
