Product details

Medicine today seems to triumph more frequently over illness and death, extending our lives. Yet often, we end up dying as hopelessly as never before. The renowned physician and bestselling author Atul Gawande writes in "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" about how to cope with diseases and disabilities, what it means to grow old in today's world, and what we need to change in our system to lead our lives to a dignified end. Filled with moving stories and personal experiences that can sharpen our perspective and shape the narrative of our own lives. A bold and wise book. Atul Gawande is for me a role model and inspiration: a writing doctor with heart, mind, and vision. His insights as a surgeon have already transformed medicine worldwide.
