Being Mortal: Medicine + What Matters in the End
How do you talk about death with a dying loved one? Dr. Atul Gawande explores death, dying, and why even doctors struggle to discuss being mortal with patients in this Emmy-nominated documentary.
“Aging and dying — you can’t fix those," says Dr. Gawande. This film explores the relationships between doctors and patients nearing the end of life, and how the medical profession can better support individuals in navigating mortality. The ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death but a good life — to the very end.
