single volume. The book is fully comprehensive and evidence based

practice involves the care and treatment of patients with
sarcoidosis.
Candidly written, ""On Death Without Dignity: The Human Impact of
Technological Dying"", attempts to re-humanize the inevitable
biological occurrence called dying. It is Moller's view that
through the advancement of medicalized technology, has come the
demise of the contemporary dying process. The oncological death is
reflected as failure in the part of modern medicine, the physician,
and the hospital; yet the patient experiences alienation, stigma,
helplessness, and normlessness. Yet as a culture the current
societal approach to the dying-silent avoidance-only adds to this
alienation. Society has failed to provide the necessary rules for
this universal, social, and biological event.
