{"product_id":"among-friends-robert-w-buckingham-9780879757595","title":"Among Friends: Hospice Care for the Person with AIDS","description":"This valuable guide shows how hospice can provide compassionate, palliative care to meet the medical, psychological, and spiritual needs of persons with AIDS and those who love them; it offers a detailed discussion of the history and philosophy of hospice care; the medical challenges and psychological issues involved in the treatment of AIDS patients during the painful, debilitating final stages of the disease; and the costs of medical and pain-relieving care. Hospice is shown to be more attuned to the special needs of AIDS patients as well as far more cost-effective in most cases than acute-care hospitals.\u003cbr\u003ePatients, loved ones, and all advocates of the rights and dignity of persons with AIDS will find Among Friends an indispensable resource.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert W.
