Note: *Written by a researcher and clinician at a very technical level. For example, this sentence in the chapter on supportive care, section on fatigue gives a typical sample of the reading level:

"Anemia in myeloma is probably multifactorial, in newly diagnosed patients it is mainly due to inadequate erythropoeitin (EPO) production related to the inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor."

Abstract

"An urgently important exploration of the human stories behind Canada's evolving acceptance of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), from one of its first and most thoughtful practitioners. The Last Doctor recounts Marmoreo's crash course in MAiD and introduces a range of very different and memorable patients, some aged, some suffering from degenerative conditions or with a terminal disease, some surrounded by supportive love, some quite alone, who ask her help to end their suffering with dignity and on their own terms. Dr. Marmoreo also shares her own emotional transformation as she climbs a steep learning curve and learns the intimate truths of the vast range of end-of-life situations" -- Provided by publisher.
