Ein Plädoyer gegen Übertherapie am Lebensende. In deutschen Kliniken wird operiert, katheterisiert, bestrahlt und beatmet, was die Gebührenordnung hergibt - ein durchaus rentables Geschäft. Dr. Matthias Thöns berichtet aus seiner jahrelangen Erfahrung von zahlreichen Fällen, in denen alte, schwer Kranke mit den Mitteln der Apparatemedizin behandelt werden, obwohl kein Therapieerfolg mehr zu erwarten ist. Finanzieller Profit steht im Fokus des Interesses vieler Ärzte und Kliniken.

We have lost the war on cancer. We spend $150 billion each year treating it, yet - a few innovations notwithstanding - a patient with cancer is as likely to die of it as one was 50 years ago. Most new drugs add mere months to one's life at agonizing physical and financial cost. In The First Cell, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must.

Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: We were all born, and we will all die. We don't have a choice in how we enter the world, but we can have a say in how we leave it.

These are some of the most important conversations we can have with each other - to find peace, kindness and gratitude for what has gone before and acceptance of what is to come.
