Media Reviews
Essential reading for those health care professionals concerned with the terminal care of people with AIDS
Nursing Times

Not only does this book look at the physical care which is essential, but as importantly at the spiritual and pastoral care... I highly recommend this sensitive book to all doctors, nurses and other members of the caring profession.
