Being Mortal – Audiobook Online

Being Mortal is a book about medicine and final problems by author Atul Gawande.
The book tackles the toughest challenge of her profession: how medicine can not only improve life, but its end. manageable.

Nursing homes, concerned with safety, confine patients to beds and wheelchairs. Hospitals areolating the dying, checking vital signs long after the goals of resuscitation have become controversial. Doctors, committed to prolonging life, continue to perform cruel procedures that ultimately prolong suffering.

Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses the ultimate limitation of his profession, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal of patients and families. Gawande offers examples of more liberal, socially accomplished models for supporting the frail and dependent elderly, and he explores delicate forms of care to demonstrate that weeks or One’s last month can be rich and decent.

Being Mortal shows that the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life – to the end.
