“Dealing With Doctors, Denial and Death – A Guide To Living Well With Serious Illness,” With Oncologist, UNM Professor and author, Dr. Aroop Mangalik.
Dealing with Doctors, Denial and Death book coverOften when death is the inevitable and impending outcome of a health diagnosis, doctors are reluctant to discuss alternatives to treatment, feeding into a culture of denial that can result in expensive, ineffective, and unnecessary over treatment that may or may not extend life but almost always damages the quality of life. Here, a seasoned doctor and researcher looks at the ways in which we are accustomed to treating illness at all costs, even at the expense of the quality of a patient’s life. He considers our culture of denial, the medical profession’s role in over treating patients and end of life care, and the patient’s options and role in these decisions. The goal is to help patients and families make informed decisions that may help the seriously ill live better with their illnesses.
“This profoundly empowering book will help people make informed decisions about their lives and medical care, especially those who have a life-threatening or life-changing illness themselves or have a family member living with one. Incorporating specific questions for patients to ask their doctors and discuss with their families, the book provides an analysis of various forces that influence our decision-making. The book also examines the professional, psychological, economic, and social pressures that influence physicians treating seriously ill patients, including those that lead doctors to recommend treatments that may be futile. The book concludes with resources that seriously ill patients and their families can call upon to give them support and assist with the logistical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of end-of-life care. Having spent 50 years as an oncologist, Mangalik offers a common sense guide to planning a good death”.
Dr. Aroop Mangalik is an Emeritus Professor at UNM and has been a hematologist-medical oncologist at the UNM Cancer Center since 1983. He has been working for many years on initiatives to make seriously ill patients comfortable and to assist and inform in decision making.
Jennifer Ramo worked with Senator Michael Padilla to write state law banning schools from shaming children without ability to pay for meals. An effective approach to poverty requires taking care of short-term needs like food and shelter, with an eye on long-term solutions. Community realities have to inform any policy solutions just as much as legal and economic realities. New Mexico Appleseed addresses poverty from all of these perspectives. Jenny Ramo, founder and Executive Director of New Mexico Appleseed spoke about the organization’s work, including the nationally praised “Lunch Shaming Bill” and its work using data to predict and prevent problems associated with poverty.

Tenth Mountain believes that there is a wonderful variety of fine, contemporary work being made today. “The public is avid for art, poetry and literature that illuminates our world with beauty and meaningful ideas but which all too often do not meet the criteria of commercial publishers. The work can find a home here. We publish contemporary books of the highest quality. The books are as beautiful as their contents”. The emphasis will always be on quality and relevance to contemporary life. We collaborate with artists and authors individually to realize their unique vision in the form of a book. Red Mountain Press awards a prize for poetry. RD Ross, the owner and publisher of Red Mountain Press, is a tireless organizer, giving a lifetime of service to community efforts, especially in the arts and education.

The Santa Fe Watershed Association & JourneySantaFe present: A Brief History of Acequias in Santa Fe, With Phil Bové:
Journey Hosts: Andy Otto, Alan Webber and Bill Dupuy
In conjunction with the Santa Fe Watershed Association, Journey Santa Fe is offering four speakers in May on the subject of WATER and WATERSHEDS IN NEW MEXICO and how they relate to our local Santa Fe River watershed.
Phillip Bové has been a Commissioner on the Acequia Madre de Santa Fe since 1983 and on the Santa Fe River Commission since 2009.
Water is for Fighting Over and Other Myths About Water in the West: An Exploration of Solutions to the Colorado River Basin’s Water Problems, with John Fleck.
Hosts: Andy Otto, Alan Webber & Bill Dupuy
In conjunction with the Santa Fe Watershed Association, Journey Santa Fe is offering four speakers in May on the subject of WATER and WATERSHEDS IN NEW MEXICO and how they relate to our local Santa Fe River watershed.
A science journalist with 30 years of newspaper experience, John first wrote about water in the 1980s as a beat reporter covering the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. He is the author of the book Water is for Fighting Over and Other Myths About Water in the West, an exploration of solutions to the Colorado River Basin’s water problems, published by Island Press.
Growing population and a warming climate are placing increasing pressures on the water supplies of the western United States. But contrary to common narratives of crisis, conflict, and looming apocalypse, the region’s communities have been quietly adapting to the changing circumstances. In showing that we can do more with less, and learning to collaborate rather than fight over water, these communities are lighting a path toward a future in which the West can not only survive but thrive in the face of its water supply adversity.
As a journalist, including more than two decades’ work at the Albuquerque Journal from 1990 to 2014, John grew to increasingly specialize in the water resource issues so critical in New Mexico and arid Southwest. His water-related writings and newspaper coverage have included important legal decisions as well as legislative activity, and spanned the state of New Mexico, as well as neighboring states, such as Arizona, Colorado and Texas.
