The conversation : a revolutionary plan for end-of-life care

Volandes, Angelo E., 1971-2016
Books
Dr Angelo E. Volandes believes that a life well lived deserves a good ending. Through the stories of seven patients and seven very different end-of-life experiences, he demonstrates that what people with a serious illness, who are approaching the end of their lives, need most is not new technologies but one simple thing: the conversation. He argues for a radical re-envisioning of the patient-doctor relationship and offers ways for patients and their families to talk about this difficult issue to ensure that patients stay at the centre and in charge of their medical care right up until the end.
