END OF LIFE ISSUES

Prolonged Death - An American Tragedy
Author: William C. Fowkes, M.D.
Publication Year: 1998

A monograph written by Dr. William Fowkes. 

Dr. Fowkes has spent much of his medical career sorting through contradictory laws, medical conventions and social pressures that come to bear on individual cases.  At the same time he has been involved in day-to-day clinical interactions with patients and their families, sitting at bedsides and offering counsel during those difficult moments when decisions must be made. The dual roles of medical scholar and hands-on practitioner have put him in a unique position for developing a solid and clear perspective.
