Going down Screaming is at times funny, at times inexpressibly sad, and at all times touching. This set of vignettes drawn from the long career of nurse and health care administrator, Barbara Morgan, raises provocative questions about how Americans view and treat their elderly. Will our young people have the compassion for the elderly to provide a quality of life for them, or will it be a liability they refuse to be responsible for? It also makes you wish that—if you have to leave your home for a nursing facility, it would be run by someone like Barbara.
