Beschreibung
Greg Phelps was Chief Medical Officer for a health system spanning
two states and contemplating retirement when his mother passed
away in hospice.
Intrigued by this burgeoning discipline in
end of life care and burned out on his
administrative position, he decided over
the strong objections of spouse and family
to go back to school, resuming an intern like
position as a fellow in Hospice and
Palliative Care.
Going back to school at age 55 proves to be
a challenge beyond what he might have
anticipated. "Just think of me as an intern
with 30 years experience," he breezily tells his residents and fellows
but what ensues is a stressful hands-on journey with sick and often
dying patients while confronting his own aging and illness as well as
new faculty young enough to be his children.
Peppered with anecdotes drawn from the daily experience,
seasoned with both humor and inevitable sadness, this story
explains both what hospice doctors do, what they learn and how, in
the end, we all acknowledge our own mortality.
