On a blustery night, detectives from the Massachusetts State Police
knocked on Amy Gleason's door. Gleason, along with fellow nurse Kim
Hoy, had helped a patient deal with pain and suffering at the end
of her life. Now the patient was dead, and the two nurses were
being investigated for murder. Both believed they had done the
right thing, but they had no idea what it would cost them. In this
captivating and powerful true story, Dr. Lewis M. Cohen uses the
experiences of Gleason, Hoy, and the nursing assistant who accused
them of murder to explore what happens when decisions about
end-of-life care shift from the hospital to the courtroom and the
church. Tracing this issue from the uproar over Terri Schiavo's
feeding tube to the controversial figure of Jack Kevorkian, and to
the legitimate threat of serial killer medical professionals, Cohen
goes behind the scenes on both sides of this debate. He examines
how advances in modern medicine have given us tremendous tools for
prolonging life but have also forced us to address how we treat
patients who are dying and suffering.
