Dying with Dignity and a Heavy Dose of Humor Laugh to Death: My Rx for Dying Well with ALS, a collection of personal vignettes, chronicles a doctor's end-of-life journey with ALS, also know as Lou Gehrig's disease. Welsh's unique outlook as a doctor-turned patient, while at times serious and somber, is more often hilarious, if not irreverent. Throughout, he reveals how a terminally ill person's attitude can profoundly affect their quality of life. Praise for Laugh to Death: My Rx for Dying Well with ALS "I never knew Martin Welsh, but I feel as though I did, thanks to this wise, honest, inspiring, and very funny-that's right, funny-book about his struggle with ALS. He was a remarkable man and a gifted writer. And I'm not just saying that because he used my columns as a cure for constipation." -Dave Barry, Humor columnist, Miami Herald "Laugh to Death is not just about dying, it's about living. This book empowers those who feel powerless and cuts to the core of the matter: our mutual mortality. Facing death gave Dr. Martin Welsh a clarity that few ever grasp, allowing us to reap the benefits of his wisdom, insight, and humor." -Mike Bernhagen and Terry Kaldhusdal, Co-producers, Consider the Conversation "Let me make it easy for you-buy this book! Laugh to Death is at times as wry and witty as a Saturday Night Live episode, and ripe with the gentle irony of a man who gets what is important in life and makes sure we don't miss the point." -Jeremy Nobel, M.D., Faculty, Harvard Medical School, President, Foundation for Art & Healing "Laugh to Death is the perfect title to describe author Dr. Martin Welsh, who never let his ALS diagnosis get the better of him. Marty found humor and joy in every situation as his disease progressed. His unique perspective as doctor becoming patient makes this a perfect book for anyone dealing with a terminal diagnosis, whether patient, caregiver, or medical provider." -Catherine Lomen-Hoerth, M.D., Ph.D., Director, ALS Center at UCSF,Professor of Clinical Neurology
