Description
"This original book approaches the discussion of palliative care from both a clinical and classically academic perspective. It is rare to find a history of program development adjacent to a discussion of how the themes of Odysseus highlight the issues of suffering and compassion." -M. Elizabeth Paulk, M.D., UT Southwestern Medical Center
