Being Mortal: Medicine and What matters in the end -Atul Gawande

After listening to Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End, twice, I decided the information he shared is vital for those of us who are entering, or well ensconced in, our senior years and of great interest to our children, who well may be called on to make decisions for us. 

What follows is a summary of his work along with some of my thoughts and research. 

I hope that as you read this you will take the opportunity to reflect on your future and take steps to maintain a quality of life that resonates with you.
