Dinner & A Book - Being Mortal: Medicine and What Happens in the End

Modern medicine has transformed the dangers of birth, injury and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. Through research and stories of his own patients and family, Atul Gawande reveals the suffering produced by medicine's neglect of the wishes people might have beyond survival in his book “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End.” Doug Farmwald and Gail Martin discuss the powerful book and what really matters in this year’s selection for the St. Joseph County Public Library’s One Book, One Michiana.
