I clicked on the 'save' button and my review disappeared. NOT HAPPY. Grrrr. A phenomenal achievement - one that asks the medical profession to stop denying the reality of dying and to incorporate it into their practice. There is enough here to go around, including factoids explaining why no one has died of natural causes since 1945, and that death is caused by one thing - a lack of oxygen to a vital organ. This book led me to evaluate my relationship with my health care provider. Was a simply a bag of symptoms when I saw him? Or was this someone who focused on the whole of me? With the wisdom gained from Dr. Nuland's book, I switched to a nurse practitioner at what - in hindsight - turned out to be a highly opportune time. National Book Award. Dr. Nuland takes us through the physiology of death; cardian failure, ateriosclrosis, Alzheimers and other dementias, murder, suicide, AIDS, cancer, yet also Hope, Love, and Spirituality. Very good, and though a bit clinical, very readable. Indexed. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
