Person
Judy Cook, MD, first studied Pathology and then Psychiatry and has been practicing Psychiatry for over 30 years, with much of her practice emphasis on Psychotherapy but also with attention to general medical health. In this time she has seen not only many changes in the medical field, but many issues that affect the health and well being of patients in all areas of their medical and mental health care. To Die or Not to Die is written to present solutions to some of these basic problems to a much wider audience than she can reach in her private practice.
