At Peace
Book description
The authoritative, informative, and practical follow up to BEING MORTAL, on end-of-life care for patients over the age of 65.

Why read it?
1 author picked At Peace as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found this book to be totally unique as it is informed by the many many years Dr. Harrington spent in a hospital ER, taking care of patients.
He goes into a great deal of information on the major diagnoses for seniors and at what point should you consider no longer treating a major illness. So many people do not want to spend their last days in a hospital or medical environment but sadly, many do.
If you want to opt out of pointless care, read this book to make an informed, educated decision!
From Star's list on helping you or your loved ones age successfully.
