"In June 2000 Peter Houghton, a counselor in palliative care, was
himself weeks from death due to cardiomyopathy. He had made his
preparations and had said most of his good-byes. Then he was offered
the chance to participate in a clinical trial. Six months later he
was not only still alive, but planning a long distance walk for
charity and writing this book about his experiences." "With humour
and honesty, his story chronicles the uneven path back from the brink
of death. Combining knowledge drawn from his counseling work with
other dying people and his unique personal experience, he describes
what dying really feels like and explains the physical processes it
involves. He also raises profound questions about medical trials and
palliative care, and especially about our attitudes to life and
death, and the way we approach death."--BOOK JACKET.
