Compassionate Care in Final Moments

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

**Compassionate Care in Final Moments** is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of death, dying, and the profound significance of human connection in the face of mortality. Drawing upon his extensive experiences among the terminally ill, Bert Keizer, a Dutch physician with a unique blend of medical and philosophical training, offers invaluable insights and guidance for healthcare professionals, patients, and their families.

With honesty, sensitivity, and unwavering commitment to patient-centered care, Keizer challenges traditional notions of medical treatment, advocating for a holistic approach that encompasses not only physical well-being but also emotional, spiritual, and existential needs. Through intimate encounters with patients from all walks of life, Keizer unveils the profound impact that compassion and empathy can have on the dying process, emphasizing the importance of treating patients with dignity and respect.

Beyond the nursing home walls, Keizer introduces us to a trio of doctors with whom he works, each representing a distinct perspective on end-of-life care. Their outlooks range from detachment and despair to unwavering faith in the power of medicine. These contrasting viewpoints provide a nuanced exploration of the ethical dilemmas and challenges faced by healthcare professionals in this field. Keizer's own reflections on his work add further depth to the discussion, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of caring for the dying and the profound impact it can have on one's own life.

**Compassionate Care in Final Moments** is a compelling and thought-provoking examination of death, dying, and the profound significance of human connection in the face of mortality. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of end-of-life care and the profound impact it can have on our lives.

In this book, Keizer masterfully weaves together personal anecdotes, philosophical musings, and practical guidance, offering readers a profound exploration of the human experience surrounding death and dying. **Compassionate Care in Final Moments** is a powerful testament to the importance of empathy, compassion, and dignity in end-of-life care, leaving a lasting impact on readers long after they finish the final page.

Ngā Kete Mātauranga - Māori...

Jacinta Ruru, Linda Waimarie...

In this beautiful and transformative book, 24 Māori academics share their personal journeys, revealing what being Māori has meant for them in their work. Their perspectives provide insight for all New Zealanders into how mātauranga is positively influencing the Western-dominated disciplines of knowledge in the research sector. It is a shameful fact, says co-editor Jacinta Ruru in her introduction to Nga Kete Mātauranga, that in 2020, only about 5 percent of academic staff at universities in Aotearoa New Zealand are Māori. Tertiary institutions have for the most part been hostile places for Indigenous students and staff, and this book is an important call for action. ‘It is well past time that our country seriously commits to decolonising the tertiary workforce, curriculum and research agenda,’ writes Professor Ruru.
