Summary:
"As a critical care doctor treating people at their sickest, Daniela Lamas is fascinated by patients whose lives are extended by days, months, or years as a result of our treatments and technologies. She explores complex issues through intimate accounts of patients and their families. A grandfather whose failing heart has been replaced by a battery-operated pump; a salesman who found himself a kidney donor on social media; a college student who survived a near fatal overdose and returned home, alive but not the same; and a young woman navigating an adulthood she never thought she'd live to see -- these moving narratives paint a detailed picture of the fragile border between sickness and health. A compassionate, uncompromising look at the choices and realities that many of us, and our families, may one day face. Daniela Lamas is a pulmonary and critical care doctor at the Brigham & Women's Hospital. She has worked as a medical reporter at the Miami Herald and is frequently published in the New York Times.
