The book addresses the disparity between the desire to die at home and the reality of hospital deaths, often marked by over-treatment and loss of dignity. Professor Ken Hillman, an expert in intensive care, critiques the current healthcare system's failure to respect patients' wishes, advocating for gentler, more compassionate options at the end of life. Aimed at empowering families and patients, it serves as a crucial resource for those facing end-of-life decisions, encouraging dialogue and challenging conventional practices in healthcare.
