This book about assisted dying was written by a Canadian doctor who decided to switch her specialty from obstetrics to assisted dying when Canada voted to allow medically assisted dying in 2016. It highlights the changes she experienced in herself as well as the changes in the Canadian medical system from that year up to 2021, when this book came out. Very informative and enlightening. Five stars.

DocBrown Have you come across this one?

In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss

Ephemera No. The books I was interested in reading about assisted dying had many, many stories about how families and spouses dealt with grief and loss. But thanks for the suggestion. 1y
