The Measure of Our Days: New Beginnings at Life's End Paperback - 1998 - 1st Edition
by Jerome Groopman
Dr. Jerome Groopman offers readers a compelling look at what is to be learned when life itself can no longer be taken for granted. National radio telephone tour.
Summary
These stories are diverse--from Kirk, an aggressive venture capitalist determined to play the odds with controversial chemotherapy treatments; to Elizabeth, an imperious dowager humbled by a rare blood disease; to Elliott, who triumphs over leukemia and creates for himself a definition of success--but each, in the words of Maggie Scarf, "transmute the misery of terrible suffering into a marvelous celebration of the sweetness of human life." Far from medical case studies, these are spiritual journeys of questioning and self-awareness, embarked on by the physician as well as the patient.
