About this title: Shaped by common sense and kindness, grounded in traditional medicine yet receptive to alternative therapies, Slow Medicine advocates for careful anticipatory "attending" to an elder's changing needs rather than waiting for crises that force acute medical interventions.

"Facing life's inevitable crises, especially in advanced age, is made better by loving relationships. Slow down, take time to adjust to changes, create circles of care. All we have is each other. Author argues effectively for a social model of care for ourselves and our elders."
"Very thorough instructions about how to care for aged folk, and how to recognize the milestones of decline. I learned a lot from it and hope I needn't apply any of it for decades yet.
Recommended, but don't do what I did and read it the day after your parents leave for their home thousands of miles away."
"This book really helped confirm my belief that quality of life is more important than quantity. I am currently navigating the 80+ years with my parents and had a very bad experience with "institutionalized" medicine."
"Excellent read for those of us with elderly parents or siblings. Stress is on "slow medicine" vs the fast medicine of current health system. Slow medicine emphasizes keeping elder as close as possible in familiar settings with support group of care-givers including family, neighbors, health practicioners, etc. A very wise and practical book based on author's personal expereince with own mother and others in his care as a doctor in Vermont. Author was mentioned in recent NYT article (July 2008)on caring for elderly."
