About Books, May 17, 2008

Dennis McCullough's "My Mother, Your Mother: Embracing Slow Medicine, the Compassionate Approach to Caring for Your Aging Loved Ones" is necessary reading for anyone caring for elderly parents or preparing for their own senior years. McCullough is a geriatrician and faculty member in the Department of Community Medicine at Dartmouth Medical School. He comes across as the kindest human ever. The book covers the eight stations of late life (after 80) and uses the story of McCullough's mother's experiences. The book is comforting and a wonderful resource to anyone making this journey.
