Most persons, especially as they are aging, wonder, "How will I die? Will I have a good death? Will I suffer? How will my family respond? How can we manage the dying process better?"
Author Dr. Glen Miller, a retired physician, had his own wake-up call when he suffered a heart attack and determined to help himself and his patients go "gently into that good night." Dr. Miller emphasizes that good preparation for the inevitable--by individuals and their families--will ease this transitional time of high stress and high emotion.
The book brings a unique perspective related to the author's professional career and personal medical history--doctor of internal medicine who cared for dying patients, healthcare administrator who understands how the healthcare system works, and Christian who thinks that dying can be a natural part of life. All of this is in the context of the author's own healthcare narrative and his personal search for a good death. With compassion honed by serving overseas among poor and despairing people and the practical ideas gleaned from his medical practice, Dr. Miller provides rich guidance to aging persons to live more fully and to proactively plan for a good death.
Born on a farm in northwest Ohio, Glen Miller's vocation and motivations took him to more than 44 countries. Over 25 years, he played a key role in elevating the local hospital in Bellefontaine, Ohio, to the top rung of small hospitals in the state. Dr. Miller is retired and lives in Goshen, Indiana, with his wife Marilyn.
Physicians, philosophers, and theologians consider how to address death and dying for a diverse population in a secularized century.
Most of us are generally ill-equipped for dying. Today, we neither see death nor prepare for it. But this has not always been the case. In the early fifteenth century, the Roman Catholic Church published the Ars moriendi texts, which established prayers and practices for an art of dying. In the twenty-first century, physicians rely on procedures and protocols for the efficient management of hospitalized patients. How can we recapture an art of dying that can facilitate our dying well? In this book, physicians, philosophers, and theologians attempt to articulate a bioethical framework for dying well in a secularized, diverse society.
Contributors discuss such topics as the acceptance of human finitude; the role of hospice and palliative medicine; spiritual preparation for death; and the relationship between community, and individual autonomy. They also consider special cases, including children, elderly patients with dementia, and death in the early years of the AIDS epidemic, when doctors could do little more than accompany their patients in humble solidarity.
These chapters make the case for a robust bioethics -- one that could foster both the contemplation of finitude and the cultivation of community that would be necessary for a contemporary art of dying well.

Panic is the common initial reaction from a person diagnosed with cancer. Most patients, with a lack of knowledge about the nature of cancer and the treatment options, become anxious to learn about cancer and how to overcome the notorious disease.
However, it is not easy for cancer patients to gain a comprehensive understanding of the scientific and medical knowledge about cancer. The main reason is that the information needed is scattered in many different resources, and the information is complex and difficult for ordinary people to understand.
In an attempt to help ordinary people understand cancer and its medical science, the author has written this book in an easy-to-understand style, so that patients can manage cancer more effectively in their life time.
Providing information for patients to understand the why, how, and what with each step of treatment plan, as well as a realistic range of possible outcomes, is very important. Information can help patients reduce anxiety and give patients a greater sense of ownership in their treatment process. The sense of ownership is imperative to growing a positive attitude for patients fighting cancer.
This book is a one-stop shop, easy-to-understand guidebook for cancer patients to understand:
Why and how do people get the cancer?
Can we prevent the cancer?
What is the difference between cancer and other diseases?
What should we do if cancer is diagnosed or progressed?
How can we treat the cancer?
Where does the cancer treatment end?
