Reviews
"This book presents a personal account of the death of a family member to illustrate perceived communication deficits in planning and prioritizing care for a patient with chronic, progressive illness. ... The book is written for those in medical school and advanced allied professional school." (Michele S. Loos, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
