In Ways of Dying Heath illuminates the process for professionals and lay readers, and stimulates consideration of approaches to improved care at end of life. Her renowned work The Mystery of General Practice (which has been unavailable for some time), considers the complex character of this field, its core values and changing roles. The two extended essays cover important issues on the role of the healthcare professional in the care of the dying, the idea of life and death, and the essential nature of general practice. Matters of Life and Death offers inspiration for all doctors, especially those with an interest in medical humanities. It will also be of great interest to general readers interested in end of life matters, and the nature and art of medicine. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed December 20, 2018). 650 0 Death. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85036085 650 0 Terminal care. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85134007 650 7 Death. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00888613 650 7 Terminal care. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01147835 700 1 Berger, John, |eauthor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79135220
