Featuring Rudolph Bilotti Sr., Berthold Cohen, Charlotte Cohen
"Defining Hope" weaves the stories of patients with life-threatening illnesses, and the nurses who guide them as they make choices about how they want to live, how much medical technology they can accept, what they hope for and how that hope evolves. It is about optimism and helps us define what 'quality of life' really means.
