《Being Mortal》的作者 Atul Gawande 是一名医生,他道出了大家也许不知道也许视而不见的真相:绝症的治疗并不一定能把病治好,有时候能帮你延长性命,但多数时候你不但要承受治疗的痛苦,还很可能恶化你的病情。 作者从医生受教育时被灌输的观念开始说起,仿佛全世界都认为医生就是应该要积极地把病治好,无论可能...
Hospitals isolate the dying, checking for vital signs long after the goals of cure have become moot. Doctors, committed to extending life, continue to carry out devastating procedures that in the end extend suffering.Atul GawandeMacmillan
然而赤裸裸的现实却是现代医学手段对重大疾病的治疗效果非常有限的;大部分疾病的痊愈是医学手段辅助自身免疫系统实现的;由于各种疾病的致病机理并不完全清楚且每个人的个人体质又千差万别,医生面对的是巨大的不确定性。有了这样的认识,首先可以帮助我们不再过分苛求医生,进一步的,我们可以把医生看做专业医疗信息和医疗手...

Being Mortal 这是一本讲生命最后时光的书。以中国人的习惯来看,这总是很忌讳,觉得不祥。我们的文化在有意无意地逃避讨论死亡。 只是,这个世界上的每一个人,如果运气好的话,都要经历从衰老到亡故的一个过程。对这个领域一无所知,会让我们在人生最后的时光里过得更好吗?我想应该是相反吧。至少如果我在几年前...
I resisted reading this for a year because it sounded so heavy: it's a personal meditation on aging, death, and dying. But Gawande, a surgeon by trade, tackles weighty issues by sharing lots of stories to go with the research, making this book eminently
这本书让我想起之前看的另一本书《死亡如此多情》。区别在于，Atul本身就是美国一名专业的医生，他的记录与思考充满了理性和探索。而《死亡如此多情》是对中国一百来位临床医生的访谈集，更多的是平实的叙事，记录着生命终点的人生百态，从而更感性一些。两本书一中一外，都值得一读。1. 人体衰老的过程...
