    How Death Has Changed, And What This Means For Patients
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017*

In this very valuable book, Dr. Warraich examines how death has changed, and discussing the implications of those changes for all of us.  We will all die, and most of us will be involved in the deaths of others.  But the way most of us die has changed drastically over the past century.  Before then, death usually came quickly,  at home, and was usually definitive -- the heart stopped, and so did life.  But now death tends to be gradual, and to happen in the arms of the medical industrial complex of hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices.  It is also, oftentimes, much harder to define - is someone dead when brain function cannot be detected, even if the heart continues to beat and the lungs to breathe?  These changes pose problems for patients and care-givers, problems that all too often are not anticipated in advance.  Dr. Warraich recommends over and over that people discuss and think about the way they want their lives to end before the crisis comes, and this book provides an enormous amount of information.  It that sense, it can be liberating -- I did not find the book at all depressing (though it is painfully sad in some places).  Dr. Warraich relies on extensive research and on his experience as a physician to make his points, a deeply satisfying combination.

    Informative, Realistic, and Uplifting
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018*

Modern Death is a chapter by chapter exploration of how the medical profession, scientific advances in understanding, and twentieth to twenty-first century culture have changed what death is and how we die. I liked the format of the chapters; each exploring a different facet from the context of its own scientific, cultural, and political history as well its reality in modern death. I also liked the thorough, candid and realistic approach to death and all its adjacents in this book. The book was very informative and ultimately uplifting. I'm happy to have read it and will recommend it.

    Dying in America -- probably not what you have in mind
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2017*

I am a chaplain in a hospital. Dr. Warraich's well-researched and beautifully written treatise on how modern medicine has changed the way we die closely describes the reality I observe on a daily basis.  In attempting to extend life, very often aggressive interventions seem to prolong a painful and confusing dying process that almost no one would elect if they and their families really knew the price they would ultimately pay. Sometimes the "hope" that medicine proffers can feel, in retrospect, more like denial, fear, and miscommunication. I greatly appreciated how Dr Warraich wrote about so many aspects of hospitalization, especially in the ICU -- a space that can be particularly fraught with mystery for patients and families.I am grateful to Dr Haider for articulating from a physician's perspective how we got where we are, and for his compassionate suggestions about how we might change the system to balance curative, palliative, and comfort treatments. Let us always remember that even in medicine, it's not just numbers and labs and cell counts that need to be looked at, and protocols that need to be followed, but that a human being is central to every single case. I look forward to reading more from this physician author.
