You Can Stop Humming Now a Doctors Stories of Life Death and in Between
In this book, the author explores the complex answers to the question: what comes after for those whose lives are extended by days, months or years as a result of medical treatments and technologies. A grandfather, whose failing heart has been replaced by a battery-operated pump; a college student who survived a near-fatal overdose and returned home, alive but not the same; a young woman navigating an adulthood she never thought she had live to see these moving narratives paint a detailed picture of the fragile border between sickness and health. This is a must read for anyone contemplating what medicine holds in store for us.
