In 'Being Mortal,' Atul Gawande, a practicing surgeon, examines the limitations and incapacities of medicine in the face of aging and death. Through reflections and personal stories, Gawande shows how medicine often acts against what it should do in these stages of life. This book invites reflection on how we can improve healthcare to ensure a good life until the end, prioritizing well-being and quality of life over mere survival.
