The authoritative, beneficial, and reassuring guide on end-of-life look after our aging inhabitants.A lot of people say they wish to die quietly at home. But overly hostile medical advice, coupled with an unrealistic sense of invincibility or overconfidence in our health-care system, ends in nearly all seniors patients misguidedly dying in organizations. Many undergo agonizing procedures instead of getting the better and much more peaceful loss of life they have earned. At Serenity outlines specific energetic and passive steps that elderly patients and their health-care proxies can take to ensure loved ones live their previous days perfectly at home and/or in hospice when further hostile care is improper. Through Dr. Samuel Harrington's own experience with the aging and fatalities of his parents and of dealing with patients, he identifies the terminal habits of the six most popular chronic diseases; how to identify a terminal diagnosis even when the physician is not yet determined about any of it; how to really have the hard chat about end-of-life desires; how to reduce agonizing treatments; when to get hospice health care; and how to deal with dementia and other special issues. Enlightened by more than 30 years of specialized medical practice, Dr. Harrington arrived to comprehend that the American health-care system wasn't made to treat the aging population carefully and compassion. His work as a hospice trustee and later as a clinic trustee drove his enthusiasm for helping patients make appropriate end-of-life decisions.
