| Zusammenfassung: | While surveys show that most of us would prefer to die at home, 80% of us will die in a health care facility, many hooked up to machines and faced with tough decisions. When you, a family member, or a friend are in this situation, what should you do next? Here, a leading expert on medical ethics at the end of life urges all of us, including health care professionals, to face these decisions with sensitivity and realism informed by both the latest medical evidence as well as the oldest humanistic visions. Dr. Schneiderman vividly demonstrates the wisdom of this approach by interweaving true stories of his patients, current empirical research in care at the end of life, and displays of the power of empathy and imagination as embodied in the work of writers like Tolstoy and Chekhov.--From publisher description. |

Here, a leading expert on medical ethics at the end of life urges all of us, including health care professionals, to face these decisions with sensitivity and realism informed by both the latest medical evidence as well as the oldest humanistic visions. Dr. Schneiderman vividly demonstrates the wisdom of this approach by interweaving true stories of his patients, current empirical research in care at the end of life, and displays of the power of empathy and imagination as embodied in the work of writers like Tolstoy and Chekhov.--From publisher description.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Terminal care</subfield><subfield code="x">Decision making.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Advance directives (Medical care)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh98000411</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Patient refusal of treatment.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2004009953</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Right to die.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85114084</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Bioethics.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85014136</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="1" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Terminal Care</subfield><subfield code="x">ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="2" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Advance Directives</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="2" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Bioethical Issues</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="2" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Medical Futility</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="2" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Right to Die</subfield><subfield code="x">ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Treatment Refusal</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016312</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Right to Die</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012297</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Soins en phase terminale</subfield><subfield code="x">Prise de décision.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Testament biologique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Refus de traitement.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Droit à la mort.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Bioéthique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Ethics & Moral Philosophy.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Bioethics</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Advance directives (Medical care)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Patient refusal of treatment</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Right to die</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Terminal care</subfield><subfield code="x">Decision making</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Embracing our mortality (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFFMrxWBgQJRxtP3tvJ6Bq</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Schneiderman, L.J.</subfield><subfield code="t">Embracing our mortality.</subfield><subfield code="d">Oxford ;

Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2008. 1 online resource (x, 219 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. Putting in writing what you want (and don't want) -- What may happen if you don't make it "clear and convincing" -- Facts and statistics -- Empathy and the imagination -- Ancient myth and modern medicine: what can we learn from the past? -- Hoping for a miracle -- What could be wrong with hope? -- Medical futility -- Beyond futility to an ethic of care -- Future decisions we may all have to make. While surveys show that most of us would prefer to die at home, 80% of us will die in a health care facility, many hooked up to machines and faced with tough decisions. When you, a family member, or a friend are in this situation, what should you do next? Here, a leading expert on medical ethics at the end of life urges all of us, including health care professionals, to face these decisions with sensitivity and realism informed by both the latest medical evidence as well as the oldest humanistic visions. Dr. Schneiderman vividly demonstrates the wisdom of this approach by interweaving true stories of his patients, current empirical research in care at the end of life, and displays of the power of empathy and imagination as embodied in the work of writers like Tolstoy and Chekhov.--From publisher description.
