Summary
When Dennis Kaye was 30 years old, he noticed he had some difficulties controlling his fingers. He was soon diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a fatal and untreatable condition. With candour and humour, he describes his frustrations with the… disease and the medical community, and his eventual adaptations to his disability. He also talks about the disease itself, what its effects are, and current research into it. Finally, he delves into more controversial aspects of ALS, including assisted suicide. 1993.
