Dennis McCullough, M.D., has been a family physician and geriatrician for thirty years. He is the co-author of The Little Black Book of Geriatrics, and he lives with his wife, the poet Pamela Harrison, in Norwich, Vermont.
"McCullough's concept of 'slow medicine' is an example of that ethic of care in action...recommended for public libraries." -- Library Journal"A valuable book, chilling and comforting in equal measure. A similar book directed at fast doctors, fast hospital administrators and fast insurers might be the next welcome stride backward down the path." -- New York Times"Full of advice on how to get involved in [your parents'] care, and the kind of conversations you should have with their doctors. It's also a warning about the medical profession's alarming tendency toward 'poly-pharmacy.'" -- Maclean's"Appreciation of...My Mother, Your Mother...will, I think, depend on where you are on life's highway. If...your parents are still living, this geriatrician's guide to stepping in as escort, caregiver and advocate for your parent's final journey will probably be comforting in its compassion and detail." -- St. Petersburg Times"As valuable a resource as any I've found." -- Jane Gross, New York Times
