Ser mortal
Book • 2014
In 'Being Mortal', Atul Gawande examines the shortcomings of modern medicine in addressing the realities of aging and death.
Through personal stories, including those of his patients and his own father, Gawande highlights the need for a shift in medical practice from merely extending life to ensuring that patients maintain autonomy, dignity, and joy until the end.
He discusses the failures of nursing homes, the isolation of the dying, and the importance of hospice care in providing a more fulfilling and dignified end-of-life experience.
The book is a call to action for the medical profession to prioritize the quality of life over mere survival.
