Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. The author is a practicing physician in Ireland. He takes this opportunity to look at death and how we handle it. He makes some interesting points and some good advice about how to handle this difficult time in anyone's life. Having just gone through this process with my father, I disagree with some of his conclusions and am glad that my father died at home as he wished, no matter how difficult it was for us. It was well worth our effort to be with him through this whole process. It was still an interesting read. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"We have lost the ability to deal with death. Most of our friends and beloved relations will die in a busy hospital in the care of strangers, doctors, and nurses they have known at best for a couple of weeks. They may not even know they are dying, victims of the kindly lie that there is still hope. They are unlikely to see even their family doctor in their final hours, robbed of their dignity and fed through a tube after a long series of excessive and hopeless medical interventions. This is the starting point of Seamus O'Mahony's The Way We Die Now, a thoughtful, moving and unforgettable book on the western way of death. Dying has never been more public, with celebrities writing detailed memoirs of their illness, but in private we have done our best to banish all thought of dying and made a good death increasingly difficult to achieve"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
