While surveys show that most of us would prefer to die at home, 80% of us will die in a health care facility, many hooked up to machines and faced with tough decisions. When you, a family member, or a friend are in this situation, what should you do next? Here, a leading expert on medical ethics at the end of life urges all of us, including health care professionals, to face these decisions with sensitivity and realism informed by both the latest medical evidence as well as the oldest humanistic visions. Dr. Schneiderman vividly demonstrates the wisdom of this approach by interweaving true stories of his patients, current empirical research in care at the end of life, and displays of the power of empathy and imagination as embodied in the work of writers like Tolstoy and Chekhov.--From publisher description.
