Most people say they would like to die quietly at home. But overly aggressive medical advice, coupled with an unrealistic sense of invincibility, results in the majority of elderly patients misguidedly dying in institutions while undergoing painful procedures, instead of having the better and more peaceful death they desired. At Peace outlines specific active and passive steps that older patients and their health care proxies can take to insure loved ones pass their last days comfortably at home and/or in hospice, when further aggressive care is inappropriate. Through Dr. Harrington's own experience with his parents and patients, he describes the terminal patterns of the six most common chronic diseases; how to recognize a terminal diagnosis even when the doctor is not clear about it; how to have the hard conversation about end-of-life wishes; how to minimize painful treatments; when to seek hospice care; and how to deal with dementia and other special issues. Informed by more than thirty years of clinical practice, Dr. Harrington came to understand that the American health care system wasn't designed to treat the aging population with care and compassion. His work as a hospice trustee and later as a hospital trustee informed his passion for helping patients make appropriate end-of-life decisions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (257-274) and index. 650 0 $a Terminal care $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Terminally ill $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Death. 650 0 $a Geriatrics $v Popular works. 941 $a 11 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717030219.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710040614.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025930.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722055449.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014330.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110073226.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20190417011024.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113441.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20180329071343.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20180307031051.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180207010154.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DAF7F6A0BD411E8B276BF0197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
