In this intimate and far- reaching memoir, Mount leads the reader through the formative moments and milestones of his personal and professional life as they intersected with the history of medical treatment over the last fifty years. Mount's lifelong pursuit of understanding the needs of dying patients began during his training as a surgical oncologist at Montreal's Royal Victoria Hospital in the 1960s. He established the first comprehensive clinical program for end-of-life care in a teaching hospital in 1975 at McGill University's Royal Victoria Hospital, thus leading the charge for palliative medicine as a new specialty. His journey included collaboration with two storied healthcare innovators, British hospice pioneer Dame Cicely Saunders and American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, leading to a more fulsome understanding of the physical, psychosocial, and existential or spiritual needs of patients, their families, and their caregivers in the health care setting. This compelling narrative documents how the 'Royal Vic' team became internationally recognized as effective advocates of quality of life at the crossroad between life and death. From meetings with Viktor Frankl, the Dalai Lama and other teachers, to a memorable telephone chat with Mother Teresa, Mount recalls with appreciation, humour and humility, the places and people that helped to shed light on this universal human experience."--|cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 25, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Mount, Balfour M.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80108141 600 17 Mount, Balfour M.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1445639 610 20 Royal Victoria Hospital (Montréal, Québec)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80147310|xEmployees|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00002753|vBiography. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 610 27 Royal Victoria Hospital (Montréal, Québec)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/551419 650 0 Physicians|zCanada|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010106294 650 0 Surgeons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85130761|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Palliative treatment|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh90001135|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Hospice care|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85062231|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Terminal care|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85134007|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Employees.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/909111 650 7 Physicians.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1062841 650 7 Surgeons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1139336 650 7 Palliative treatment.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1051719 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Hospice care.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/960872 650 7 Terminal care.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1147835 651 2 Canada.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002170 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919894 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026047 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMount, Balfour M.|tTen thousand crossroads.|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2020|z0228003547 |z9780228003540|w(OCoLC)1142684707 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2619611|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
