At first a random read (picked up from some booklist). Then I thought of my grandpa, and it's like I should prepare my family for what's to come. It's bitter but at the end of the grief it's peace and relief.
评分1)对于老年人来说,生活质量不只是舒适,还需要有自我空间,能自由做出选择,包括犯错的自由。2)医学的进步在死亡的问题上是把双刃剑,一方面救死扶伤,另一方面却让本来平静而突然的死亡过程变成了一场战争。3)每个人面对生活的看法都不同,有人觉得即使失去行动能力,只要能看到窗外阳光生命就依然有意义,也有人认为生活不能自理就没有尊严,最重要的是在还有能力时,鼓起勇气讨论这些观念。
评分Death is not terrified but lonely is. And stay with goal in your life and knowing what you really want.
评分越发坚定我不要活到老的决心。

In Being Mortal, bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending
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. Nursing homes, preoccupied with safety, pin patients into railed beds and wheelchairs. Hospitals isolate the dying, checking for vital signs long after the goals of cure have become moot. Doctors, committed to extending life, continue to carry out devastating procedures that in the end extend suffering.
Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his profession’s ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified.
Full of eye-opening research and riveting storytelling, Being Mortal asserts that medicine can comfort and enhance our experience even to the end, providing not only a good life but also a good end.
