Aside from taxes, dying is the only thing that is perfectly certain once we are born. Yet, for the past decades and centuries and even extending up to the present time, many people including those directly involved with helping and assisting the sick and old people at their deathbed, have not come to terms about openly discussing such an important aspect of life. Tom Preston, MD’s new book, Doctor, Please Help Me Die, takes a bold and daring look into this controversial topic. This book is about modern excessive end-of-life suffering, why patients want physician-assisted dying, and why many physicians should learn to help their patients die peacefully rather than avoid the difficulties in doing so.
