A review by buthainna
Being Mortal by Atul Gawande

2.0

this is not a bad book. I just personally did not enjoy it. It was not what I expected it to be. I thought it would be a lot more philosophical and self reflecting, and even though it was that way at times, it was mostly about palliative care, and nursing homes and caring for the elderly and what it is that matter is most to people at the end of their lives, and how we as medical professionals should deal with it.
it was almost mind numbingly boring at times, and if I hadn't had the audiobook then I probably would never have finished reading it.
