About
Presenting two extended essays concerning the role of the healthcare professional in the care of the dying, the idea of life and death, and the essential nature of general practice, the author draws on her experience as a general practitioner to select and comment on a collection of passages concerning death and dying. Matters of Life and Death offers inspiration for all doctors, especially those with an interest in medical humanities. It will also be of great interest to general readers interested in end of life matters, and the nature and art of medicine.
