Dr. Sherwin B. Nuland, a surgeon and author who drew on more than 35 years in medicine and a childhood buffeted by illness in writing “How We Die,” an award-winning book that sought to dispel the notion of death with dignity and fueled a national conversation about end-of-life decisions, died on Monday at his home in Hamden, Conn. He was 83.

I haven't read How We Die, but I have read some of his other work. Especially loved his book The Doctors' Plague: Germs, Childbed Fever, and the Strange Story of Ignac Semmelweis - it's a wonderful thing.

I'm sorry he's gone.
