This is assisted dying : a doctor's story of empowering patients at the end of life / Stefanie Green, MD.
In her landmark memoir, Dr. Stefanie Green reveals the reasons a patient might seek an assisted death, how the process works, what the event itself can look like, the reactions of those involved, and what it feels like to oversee proceedings and administer medications that hasten death. Dr. Green contextualizes the myriad personal, professional, and practical issues surrounding assisted dying by bringing readers into the room, sharing the voices of her patients, her colleagues, and her own narrative.
