Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End
Surgeon and bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles with Being Mortal the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also improve the process of its ending . . .
Riveting, honest, and humane, Being Mortal is a book with the potential to change medicine and countless lives as it illustrates how the ultimate goal of living is not a good death but a good life, all the way to the very end.
"Being Mortal is an important call-to-action for rethinking and improving virtually every aspect of end-of-life care." -- Forbes
