Groopman's previous book was enough endorsement for me. The structure of the book follows from the least of the difficult medical decisions to the most difficult. It acknowledges that choosing whether or not to take a medicine is considerably different than discussing what "no heroic efforts" means to a dying patient. Detailed patient stories illustrate concepts, and make the book more readable and heartfelt. Full review at www.TheBibliophage.com
This book talks about making decisions from medications, to surgeries, to end of life. It's got soulful patient stories, but also plenty of research. Review to come tomorrow. In the meantime, this quote.

Guess where I was today #PhillyLittens? It wasn't the same without you, although I had a lovely day with my husband and one of our sons. And also had some appointments with surgeons. Now I'm really confused, hence the book about making medical decisions.
