Winter's End: Dementia and Dying Well by Lewis Cohen, MD Paperback Book

Description: Winter's End by Lewis Cohen, MD Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Arguably among the worst of all medical afflictions, the dementias slowly destroy ones personality, take a tremendous emotional, physical, and financial toll on patients and families, and are irreversible and inexorably fatal. Winters End: Dementia and Its Life-Shortening Options is constructed around a lengthy and detailed nonfiction account that is layered with the voices of approximately 100 palliative medicine practitioners, legal scholars,bioethicists, social workers, nurses, neurologists, psychiatrists, and other authorities from North America and Europe. This book explores how and when one might prepare to foreshorten life afterbeing diagnosed with a dementing illness, while not ignoring the reality that for most people such actions are unthinkable and unacceptable. Dan Winter was one of the exceptions, and after being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers disease, he resolved to hasten his death. He struggled over what method to employ and the timing of when to act. Winters End is intended to catalyze conversations between clinicians, people affected by dementias, and the generalpublic. It is a spellbinding and provocative book about a taboo subject that is increasingly germane to all aging societies that value patient autonomy.
