Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this extraordinary book, Iona Heath draws on her experience as a general practitioner to select and comment on a collection of passages concerning death and dying, and to consider the essential nature of general practice. In Ways of Dying Heath illuminates the process for professionals and lay readers, and stimulates consideration of approaches to improved care at end of life. Her renowned work The Mystery of General Practice (which has been unavailable for some time), considers the complex character of this field, its core values and changing roles. The two extended essays cover important issues on the role of the healthcare professional in the care of the dying, the idea of life and death, and the essential nature of general practice. Matters of Life and Death offers inspiration for all doctors, especially those with an interest in medical humanities. It will also be of great interest to general readers interested in end of life matters, and the nature and art of medicine. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Iona Heath relates the importance that John Berger's work and friendship had on her working life as a GP. It includes extracts from letters that span 20 years of her correspondence with John Berger.In this book, Iona Heath writes about reading John Berger's writing over more than 50 years and her friendship and correspondence with him over the best part of 20 years. Dr Heath found that both of these interacted profoundly with her work as a general practitioner in a deprived urban area in London. For Iona Heath, general practice is a quite extraordinary undertaking: every working day, sitting with a succession of unique individuals, each worried about some aspect of their health or life circumstances, many burdened by unspoken fears, and each seeking some form of answer. Starting with A Fortunate Man, when she was an ignorant but hopeful undergraduate medical student, she found reading John Berger on any subject had something new to tell her about the aspirations and detail of her work: clues about how to look and how to listen and much else. Later when they started to correspond, Iona Heath found herself in the privileged position of being able to check her understanding directly with the writer and on each occasion found deeper levels of awareness and insight. She is convinced that reading John Berger made her a better doctor.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. ¿Por qué son tan pocas las personas que tienen lo que se calificaría como una buena muerte? Y, antes aun: ¿qué es una buena muerte? ¿Qué forma de morir queremos para nosotros y para nuestros seres queridos? "Compruebo -escribe la doctora Iona Heath- que para muchos una buena muerte es aquella en la que el moribundo puede controlar el proceso y morir con dignidad y calma, y todos los que lo rodean se sienten privilegiados, en cierta forma enriquecidos por la situación". Sin embargo, esas muertes son poco comunes. Son muchos más los que son objeto de manoseo y falta de respeto, los que quedan sumidos en el sufrimiento. Morir es difícil. También es difícil ser médico: presenciar cada día la agonía y tomar conciencia una y otra vez de los límites de la ciencia. Cuando el paciente terminal conoce a su médico, ambos inician una de las tareas más complejas que deberán afrontar. ¿Cómo dialogar con quien está por dejarnos? ¿Cómo acompañarlo sin reducirlo a objeto de un inútil ensañamiento terapéutico? ¿Cómo hacer más suave y digna la transición? A estas preguntas clave responde la autora de un libro tan inteligente como bello. Sus respuestas combinan la experiencia, la empatía y una gran pasión por la literatura. 'Ayudar a morir' es la descripción de un viaje en cuyo trayecto la palabra de poetas, escritores y pensadores echa luz sobre circunstancias de las vidas y las muertes de hombres y mujeres que siempre, de algún modo, son extraordinarias. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
