Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End

Author: Atul Gawande
Stars: 5
Review by: Augustmom


The Author is a surgeon and writer.  He shares personal, medical, historical, humane, and general information from interviews with patients, medical professionals, and families about the end of life and decisions that are made about care.  The conversation with the medical professional and how they can best facilitate difficult conversations with patients and families is very helpful.  This book is part of a Frontline documentary.
