My Mother Your Mother : Embracing The Revolutionary Slow Medicine Approach To Caring For Your Aging Parents

“Appreciation of...My Mother, Your Mother...will, I think, depend on where you are on life’s highway. If...your parents are still living, this geriatrician’s guide to stepping in as escort, caregiver and advocate for your parent’s final journey will probably be comforting in its compassion and detail.”

“Full of advice on how to get involved in [your parents’] care, and the kind of conversations you should have with their doctors. It’s also a warning about the medical profession’s alarming tendency toward ‘poly-pharmacy.’”

“As valuable a resource as any I’ve found.”

“McCullough’s concept of ‘slow medicine’ is an example of that ethic of care in action…recommended for public libraries.”

“A valuable book, chilling and comforting in equal measure. A similar book directed at fast doctors, fast hospital administrators and fast insurers might be the next welcome stride backward down the path.”
