Atul Gawande's Being Mortal: by Atul Gawande

informative reflective slow-paced

2.0

It seems I’m in the minority of Storygraph ratings for Being Mortal, and I wish I liked this more. Some moments did shine, but that doesn’t outweigh the constant case study structure. I also wondered about if Gawande could have looked at socioeconomic status and access to medicine/treatment; in here it feels as if the status quo is that everyone has access to palliative and end-of-life care (and good care at that), but that isn’t always the case.
