IRELAND – Author Dr Seamus O’Mahony strongly argues that modern medicine in acute hospitals ill-serves the dying.

He explains why he felt the need to write his book, ‘The Way We Die Now’. The consultant gastroenterologist believes we’ve robbed the dying of their dignity in today’s acute hospitals. He talks about seeing patients being kept alive with excessive interventions and giving families false hope.
