Another textbook. This one was really interesting as it was written by one man with two perspectives. You see his story through his eyes as a medical professional but also as a son. Very interesting and very sad.

Oh, horribly depressing, but completely necessary. A look at what the health system holds for the aging American population by a doctor who specializes in older patients, and who has gone through many of these things with his own parents. Not a happy read, but a worthwhile one, because it was enough to prompt me to sit down with my parents and talk a little about what they want and what their plans are for when they get older.
