I Know You Don't Want To, But We're All Gonna Die - Make the Most of It

In fact, as you know, every living thing on, above or below Planet Earth is going to die so read all about it so yours will be a beautiful passage with flowers and music and weeping friends and relatives that the Splendor Of You is leaving their midst.

"The Art of Dying Well, A Practical Guide to a Good End of Life" by Katy Butler,  262 pages, $25.  amazon.com has it at $12

I will skip the case histories, good advice (and for all I know some clunkers thrown in) to give away something that might be helpful.  Back of the book's Further Sources of Reliable, Unbiased Medicine:


Center for Science in the Public Interest - excellent guides to medicines

American Cancer Society - Not funded by Big Pharma which she says promotes straight info from them

Choosing Wisely.org   Am. Board of Internal Medicine lists items such as specific treatments, tests, procedures that may be of no help or do more harm than good.

Drugs.com  Enter all of your Rxs and get a free personalized report on possible interactions.

eProgress  Calculate the odds of how much time you have left.  I can't recommend this for Type A's as the competitive urge is strong in us …

Mayo Clinic  Reliable summaries of diseases and standard treatments.


As this sample is merely  small one of the good advice in the rest of the book, I recommend it even if you are in booming great good health.  Plan ahead.
