Highly recommend this book - all involved in patient care, care of the elderly, and each of us (because we will all be faced with end of life decisions for ourselves and loved one) should read it. END OF LIFE DECISIONS: * What are your biggest fears and concerns? *What goals are most important for you? *What trade-offs are you willing to make and what ones are you not? *What is your understanding of your condition? * And what is the course of action that best serves this understanding? Sometimes doctors lose sight they are treating a person within a family - and they only focus on the next scientific or medical 'miracle' they can offer.

An excellent memoir. What does it mean to be white? This memoir deals with the Immorality Act, race reclassification (yes, this was a real thing in apartheid South Africa - and it ripped families apart and the effects are still felt in 2021) and what it meant to be family living in South Africa in the 1960s and 70s.
