FAREWELL
Dr. Ed has dedicated his life to death. And now this esteemed medical doctor examines death, not only from a medical standpoint, but from an acutely emotional perspective as events beyond our control unfold. For more than forty years, he has been at the bedside with patients, addressing the end-of-life questions patients and their families ask. This book is about navigating those last days, at the bedside, and saying farewell with hope, love, and compassion.
REVISED 2022 edition. COVID changed everything, and in this updated edition, Dr. Ed looks at a healthcare system that has been struck by a tsunami and the rise of telemedicine. This book is not just about lifestyle choices, although these are important aspects of Dr. Ed's healthy living plan. It is about becoming an empowered patient and understanding your diagnosis and making all the right decisions.
