Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End [Paperback] Atul Gawande
In this compelling and heart-wrenching narrative, Atul Gawande confronts the conventional methods of the healthcare system regarding the care of the elderly and those facing terminal conditions. In 'Being Mortal', he provokes critical reflections on the education of medical practitioners in the realm of end-of-life support, advocating for a paradigm shift from the mere extension of life to fostering a dignified acceptance of death. Gawande compellingly posits that embracing our inevitable demise should lie at the very core of the treatment bestowed upon individuals traversing their final moments. This illustrious work presents an empathetic viewpoint on aging and the process of dying, rendering it a must-read for medical experts and anyone wrestling with the profound truths of human existence.
