5.0 out of 5 stars What a life., November 17, 2002
By 
Frank Kovac (Meyersville MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Graceful Passage: Notes on the Freedom To Live or Die (Hardcover)
Arnold Beisser,an avid tennis player, graduates medical school
and shortly thereafter contacts polio, goes through the iron lung regime, unexpectedly lives into his sixties (one of the last surviving victims of that era) and then life begins to get incredibly bleak. Read how life under such conditions is even possible and, learnedly, what are the options. Here is material to increase our humanity; here is a lesson in courage; here is grace in a place without comfort.

3.0 out of 5 stars not what I thought, June 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Graceful Passage: Notes on the Freedom To Live or Die (Hardcover)
While this book was not what I was looking for it did provide a first person account of one man's passing. If you're interested in this kind of thing then you might want to read this little book.
