Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End

It's coming for us all. We choose to ignore it, forget about it, laugh it off, distract ourselves. But, nevertheless, we are all headed for those last days of our lives. (Some of us probably aren't even going to have half as many days as we think we will.)

Gawande bravely takes on aging and death and shares personal experiences and reflections on best practices for physicians and families and individuals who find themselves eye-to-eye with aging and death. I say amen and thank you, brother. A much-needed little book.
