Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Over almost two decades at the bedsides of gravely ill and dying patients, a critical care physician has collected accounts that patients shared with her once they felt safe enough to speak.

In this book, the author recounts these stories and explains why she believes doctors and families should take them seriously.

She argues that witnessing a patient's near-death experience is part of respectful, compassionate medicine. It can help relatives support someone they love in the final stretch, and it may contribute to the patient's own sense of peace and healing. Drawing on her clinical work, she offers a humane look at a subject that many people in medicine rarely discuss openly.
