<title><![CDATA[A life worth living : a doctor's reflections on illness in a high-tech era / Robert Martensen.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Robert Martensen, a physician, historian, and ethicist, draws on decades of experience with patients and friends to explore the life cycle of serious illness, from diagnosis to end of life. He connects personal stories with reflections upon mortality, human agency, and the value of  "cutting-edge" technology in caring for the critically ill. Timely questions emerge: To what extent should efforts to extend human life be made? What is the value of nontraditional medical treatment? How has the American health-care system affected treatment of the critically ill? And finally, what are our doctors' responsibilities to us as patients, and where do those responsibilities end? Using poignant case studies, Martensen demonstrates how we and our loved ones can maintain dignity and resilience in the face of life's most daunting circumstances.--From publisher descriptio]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[To love what is : a marriage transformed / Alix Kates Shulman.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA["One Day It Happens: the dreaded event that will change your life forever, the more dreadful because, though you've half expected it, you don't know what form it will take or when it will come or whether or not you will rise to the challenge. For Alix Kates Shulman, it happened on July 22, 2004, at 2:00 a.m., on a coastal Maine island in a remote seaside cabin with no electricity, running water, or road to reach it - where the very isolation that makes for a perfect artist's retreat can also put life at risk. Shulman woke to find that her beloved seventy-five-year-old husband had fallen the nine feet from their sleeping loft and was lying on the floor below, naked and deathly still. Though Scott would Survive, he suffered injuries that left his brain seriously impaired. He was the same - but not the same." "In this memoir, Alix Shulman describes life on the other side: the ongoing anxieties and risks - and surprising rewards - she experiences as she reorganizes her world and her priorities to care for her husband and discovers that what might have seemed a grim life sentence to some has evolved into something unexpectedly rich."--BOOK JACKET.]]></description>
