During my weekly trek to the library, I checked out this DVD. Last night I watched it with my daughter. She left in the middle, as she said it was too sad. I didn't think it was particularly sad, but perhaps I'm a little more used to these kind of shows. It was interesting to hear doctor's perspectives on how they address end of life conversations with their patients. From what this doc says, it's not a conversation that they are particularly comfortable with. They are trained to save, not surrender.
I have added Dr. Atul Gawande's book
Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End
to my read list.
Have you read any good books lately?
