This book on the history of palliative care, 1500-1970 traces the
historical roots of modern palliative care in Europe to the rise of
the hospice movement in the 1960s. The author discusses largely
forgotten premodern concepts like cura palliativa and euthanasia
medica and describes, how patients and physicians experienced and
dealt with terminal illness. He traces the origins of hospitals for
incurable and dying patients and follows the long history of
ethical debates on issues like truth-telling and the intentional
shortening of the dying patients' lives and the controversies they
sparked between physicians and patients. An eye opener for anyone
interested in the history of ethical decision making regarding
terminal care of critically ill patients.
