This review is from: Doctor, Please Close the Door!: A Book on Living Wills, Powers of Attorney, Terminal Care, and the Right to Die With Dignity (Paperback)
Kenneth A. Bartholomew, MD
Doctor, Please Close the Door: A book on living wills, power of attorney, terminal care, and the right to die with dignity (Plantation, FL: Distinctive Publishing Corp., 1994) 102 pages (Out of print: Borrow from library or buy a used copy) The medical director of a nursing home tells the stories of several patients who were kept alive after their minds were gone --because they had no Advance Directives and others were reluctant to stop feeding and "watering" them. He recommends documents that refuse water when we can no longer feed ourselves. Death by dehydration is the preferred way to die. This book makes a strong case for having a good 'living will' or a durable power of attorney for health care. If you would like to discover better books on Advance Directives, search the Internet for the following exact phrase: "Books on Advance Directives for Medical Care". James Leonard Park, medical ethicist |
