Description

David Jarrett's 33 Meditations on Death Notes from the Wrong End of Medicine is a thought-provoking exploration of death in all its forms. Drawing on his 30 years of experience treating the elderly, the author reflects on the science, medicine, tragedy, and comedy of dying, seeking to understand the end of life and how we can care for those nearing the end.

Partly informed by his own family stories and case histories, this book is a call to arms for us to make radical changes to our perspective on death. It is a plea for frank and open conversations about the end of life, and a challenge to rethink our approach to the final stages of human life. With empathy, common sense, and humour, Jarrett invites us to consider the conversations we should be having, and the changes we can make to improve care for the elderly.

This book will stay with you, long after you finish reading it. It is a profoundly moving and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most important and often avoided subjects of our lives.
