A very insightful view into what dying looks like in the age of medicine. Thanks to Atul Gawande we are witness to the last months and days of a number of different people with different circumstances, different wishes and different experiences of the last days of their life. After reading this book I feel like I would be more able to cope with anyone close to me experiencing a prognosis indicating a short time left to live.
