- Summary
- "A critical care doctor's riveting stories about what it means to be saved by modern medicine"--Jacket flap.
- Modern medicine is a world that glimmers with new technology and cutting-edge research. As a critical care doctor treating people at their sickest, Lamas is fascinated by a different story: what comes after for those whose lives are extended by days, months, or years as a result of our treatments and technologies? Here she explores the complex answers to this question through intimate accounts of patients and their families. Their moving narratives paint a detailed picture of the fragile border between sickness and health. -- adapted from jacket
