'Powerful, humane and wise' JULIA SAMUEL 'Everyone should read it' NIGELLA LAWSON 'Beautiful ... This is a book for everyone. You feel held by it' PHILIPPA PERRY Most of us have a conversation we're avoiding.
Kathryn Mannixová strávila svoju lekársku kariéru prácou s ľuďmi, ktorí mali nevyliečiteľné, pokročilé ochorenia. Začala v oblasti starostlivosti o rakovinu a zmenila kariéru, aby sa stala priekopníčkou nového odboru paliatívnej medicíny. Pracovala v tímoch v hospicoch, nemocniciach a v domácnostiach pacientov, aby poskytovala paliatívnu starostlivosť, optimalizovala kvalitu života, aj keď sa blíži smrť. Verí, že lepšie povedomie verejnosti o tom, čo sa deje, keď zomierame, by znížilo strach a umožnilo ľuďom diskutovať o svojich nádejach a plánoch s tými, na ktorých im záleží.

What colour is cancer? Why do some people appear to have made miraculous recoveries? How can you tell when someone is in the final hours of their life? How can we ensure our most vulnerable are treated with the dignity they deserve? In this unprecedented book, palliative medicine pioneer Dr Kathryn Mannix explores the biggest taboo in our society and the only certainty we all share: death.
