Paperback. Etat : Fair. This book looks squarely at how patients can make crucial decisions and take charge of the end of their lives. This book is a resource for anyone who fears unnecessary suffering and excessive medical intervention at that point. It helps readers think through and then complete advance directives, and also to take a more active role when they or a family member becomes terminally ill. Through real-life stories and his own experience, Dr. Quill explores what measures a patient can choose to prolong life and how to forgo such measures if they begin to extend a painful death, choosing instead approaches such as comfort care which emphasize quality more than quantity of life. Finally, Dr. Quill speaks out on physician-assisted suicide and why he helped a long-term patient of his, stricken with leukemia, to take her life when her suffering became intolerable.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Approximately two-thirds of deaths in the United States involve a doctor's partnership with an individual, whether it be for the administration of very high doses of pain relief or sedation, or for the act of discontinuing - or not beginning - life sustaining treatment. This work explores that partnership and the complex end of life issues that surround physician-assisted death. Here are the stories of nine individuals and their very different endings, common only in each person's struggle to confront issues of law and ethics and to realize a "good" death. Each story illustrates different aspects of the myriad dilemmmas commonly faced by dying patients, their families and physicians. Each involves a series of painful decisions that should help the reader understand how an individual's specific medical condition and unique history - personal values, and concepts of self, spirit and community - blend to suggest clinical choices that might otherwise seem difficult to understand. At the end of each narrative, the author explores the themes illustrated, highlighting the salient questions for physicians, and exposing readers to a coherent way of thinking about issues such as hospice care, withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy, terminal sedation and physician-assisted death. This text demonstrates the tension inherent between the fight for life and the mandate to relieve suffering.…
