Summary

Laugh to Death: My Rx for Dying Well with ALS, a collection of personal vignettes, chronicles a doctor's end-of-life journey with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Welsh's unique outlook as a doctor-turned-patient, while at times serious and somber, is more often hilarious, if not irreverent. Throughout-from the time of his self-diagnosis until his passing six years later-Martin F. Welsh, M.D., reveals how a terminally ill person's attitude can profoundly affect their quality of life
