Description of Being Mortal by Atul Gawande PDF

“Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End” could be a game-changer if enough people read it and take it to heart. Atul Gawande is the author of this book. The book addresses end-of-life care, and how we are getting it wrong, both within the medical establishment and in our families. It focuses both on medical procedures and living conditions in later life. This book shows the reality that as people near the end of life, decisions about their living situation are primarily aimed at ensuring safety at the expense of retaining autonomy, especially when adult children are making the decisions.

In addition, Dr. Gawande shows how end-of-life physical conditions are most often treated as medical crises needing to be “fixed,” instead of managed for the quality of life when treatment has become futile. Life is more than just a stretch of years. It must have meaning and purpose to be worth living, he says. This is a familiar concept but he builds a strong case for reform through case studies, stories from his own life, and examples of how individuals are either becoming victims of or bucking, the system.
