The Journey's End

An Investigation of Death and Dying in Modern America

Beschreibung

Our healthcare system is broken-particularly for the elderly and terminally ill. Modern healthcare is obsessed with trying to extend life instead of caring holistically for the patient. The fear of death compounds these problems. The Journey's End offers unique perspectives and solutions to these issues.
