Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End - Atul Gawande - Talks at Google

Description

Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit.

Doctors, committed to extending life, continue to carry out devastating procedures that in the end extend suffering. You must be logged in to post a review. Remember me Log in. Lost your password?
