沒想到這本書給我帶來的震撼和啟發,不亞於<Complications>和<Better>。Gawande的文筆和思考再次摺服瞭我。至少有三點得著:首先,明白瞭衰老和死亡遠不是單純的醫學問題,不能簡單粗暴地用現代醫學體係下慣用的臨床視角去看待。第二,對「臨終關懷」(Hospice Care)的為何、若何、如何,大開瞭眼界,而且聯繫到自己也有年邁多病的父母,忍不住想瞭好久。第三,醒悟到在任何臨床決策之前,你得首先搞清楚──無論這個話題多麼讓人不自在──在你麵前這位終末期患者,對ta而言什麼是最重要的:是「好死」,還是「賴活」。當然,這本書頂多告訴瞭我們,如何在人力範圍內,盡可能地去坦然麵對那不可避免的結局。然而麵對死亡的現實,更重要的問題是,死後的那一邊,永恆的歸宿是哪裡?沒有什麼比這個更重要。
評分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.
評分What's the goal? What are the trade-offs you're willing to make? Essential questions for every terminally ill person. Respect and a hard conversation can spare one and the ones around a lot of suffering. This could be a policy-changing book.
評分中間有點沉悶,一半以後又精彩瞭。臨終關懷是一個很重要卻很被忽略的課題。其實死亡可以不那麼可怕。

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.
文/逸之 《最好的告别》相较与它的英文名字Being Mortal显的含情脉脉。 这是一本关于死亡的书,主题也无疑是死亡。它没有解决办法,而是提出观点,持续发问。它带给读者的思考超越它本身,这也是本书的最大价值。 在脑海中构建了死亡的场景,不断落幕,正如生命末期研究者Jo...
評分既然有老人要送别,有父母要度晚年,有青春要逝去,我想我需要了解老和死。既然说过“你好”,我想我也需要学会说“再见”。 I 我们终要渡过死亡的冷河 【……使用机械呼吸机、电除颤、胸外按压,或者在临死之前入住监护室的末期癌症患者,其生命最后一周的质量比不接受这些干...
評分 評分虽然标题很老土,但是这本书给我的感觉的确如此。社交网络上经常流传各种书单,什么人生必看50本之类,每每看到我都嗤之以鼻。我以前并不觉得有什么书是必须每个人都读的,不觉得有什么书是人生必读的。但是,这本《最好的告别》是我目前二十六岁人生里遇到的书里面,我觉得的...
