Product details

Author Information

Atul Gawande is the author of three bestselling books: Complications, a finalist for the National Book Award; Better; and The Checklist Manifesto. He is also a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, an editor at The New Yorker, and a professor at Harvard Medical School as well as at the Harvard School of Public Health. He and his wife have three children and live in Newton.

Book Description

Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming the dangers of childbirth, injury, and illness from frightening to manageable. Yet when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, the possibilities of medicine often contradict what it should do. Through insightful research and compelling stories about his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering that this dynamic has produced. Nursing homes are primarily dedicated to this.
