Death's Door
Reviewed by: Death's Door: Modern Dying and the Ways We Grieve Jack Coulehan (bio) Sandra M. Gilbert . Death's Door: Modern Dying and the Ways We Grieve. New York: W. W. Norton, 2006. 576 pp. Hardcover, $29.95. Modern dying is a paradox: it is difficult, expensive, and prolonged but at the same time invisible. If asked how they would prefer to die, most people would answer, "die in my sleep" or "drop dead suddenly." In other words, quickly, painl…
Tenderness and Steadiness
Insists on the need for both empathy and reason within medicine—a combination absent from Hemingway’s “Indian Camp.” Coulehan promotes “emotional resilience,” which strikes a crucial balance between objectivity and subjectivity needed by doctors in their relationships with patients

More frequent diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction among Navajo Indians
In an earlier study, we failed to confirm a clinical impression that the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was increasing in Navajo men. Extending our data collection an additional three years, through 1986, we observed that the attack rate in men more than doubled and there was a gradual increase among women. Most Navajos who sustain AMI are hypertensive (51 per cent), diabetic (50 per cent) or both (31 per cent), but few smoke ciga…
Acute myocardial infarction among Navajo Indians, 1976-83
We found that from 1976 through 1983 the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) diagnosed among Navajo Indians remained low (0.5 per 1,000 persons age 30 years or more), although the incidence in women appears to be climbing. Navajo AMI patients are more likely to be hypertensive and diabetic than age- and sex-matched patients with gallbladder disease. Twenty-four per cent die within one month of AMI
