A touching and moving account of the first year of providing medical assistance in dying by a physician. It is deeply moving, powerful and more people need to be aware of the options available to them in these difficult moments.
Thank you for sharing your story and the stories of your patients Dr. Green.

Very informative book, interesting stories of the people who chose MAID to end their lives. Something everyone should read to get a bit more information on the process and why people decide to use it.
The author read the book, and it was well done (audiobook version).

Phenomenal read starting at the beginning of MAiD in Canada, and the obstacles faced when it was new-new. Dr Green does a great job telling her patient's stories and conveying her and her colleagues' passion for dignity in dying; as well as her honesty in the judgement not only doctors faced, but also her patients who chose MAiD.
Dr Green also details personal and at-home struggles she has to compartmentalize while doing her job, such as her mother's end of life; something that is unfortunately so relatable to many on the field. A must for health care providers - even if MAiD isn't in our everyday career.
Also, those last few pages hit me HARD.

I am Canadian, and, while I knew MAID existed here, I didn't know much about the particulars. If you're like me, this would be a great place to begin learning more. This book was well structured logically and engaging. It did an excellent job at being both an informational resource and an emotional exploration.
