Atul Gawandeを知らない人はいないほど有名です。値段は安くはないですが、通勤中に聞き終えました。具体的な事例が詳細に描かれていることが、本書の一番の特徴です。特に最終書（Courageの章）で著者の実父がいかに老いていき、最後まで苦しみながらも、家族に支えられて生を生き抜いたか、が描かれており感動的です。, Atul Gawandeという人は現役の外科医でありながら大変優れたwriterであることを改めて認識させられた．回復が望めない病を得た場合でも，そうでなく「老化」に伴って衰えていく場合でも，死を前にどのような医療を望むか（望まないか）については各人が日頃から考えておくべきことであろう．とくに，著者は医療の「進歩」がもたらした弊害について鋭く批評を加えている．また，超高齢化時代を迎えた今，老人ホームでの晩年の過ごし方も万人の問題である．老人ホームで動物を飼うこと，自分の存在意義を確認できるよう各自が役割を持つことの大切さなど具体的な提案がなされており一聴に値するであろう．オーディオブックとしてのできも優れており，英語に親しんでいる人なら通勤途中の時間を有効に使うのに最適である．, 米国人には老人ホームに入れられるのは監獄に入ると同じく、自由に生きることを奪われる最悪の人生のチョイスである。最後まで自分の意思で生きるにはどうすればいいのか、死に行くものの自由を奪う単純な科学としての医学の発達に対して、最後まで自分の意思を大事にして年を重ねて行きたい老齢者の気持ちを最重視する老齢医学の勧めの考えを著者はわかりやすい実例を交えて読者に語り掛ける。世界で最も医療費を使う、そのアメリカの医療費の4分の一が、回復の望みもほとんどない自分で生きる意志を失った老齢者5％に使われているそうである。老齢者が自分自身の意思で死に方を考えていく、それをサポートする医療専門家や老齢者サービスが必要とされる。日本でもっと読まれてよい本だ。. Atul Gawande has produced such a work. If Gawande's book inspires even a handful of technology innovators to devote their skills and efforts to this area, then the world will be a better place." Her illness and death went - somehow - all wrong. Workplace Giving #10611, 1707 L Street NW, Suite 220 | Washington, DC 20036 The author,an eminent surgeon based in America, carefully dissects the system with his scalpel and exposes its soft underbelly. In his path breaking book, he has focused a powerful search light on the fault-lines of the modern health care system. One hopes it is the spark that ignites some revolutionary changes in a field of medicine that ultimately touches each of us."
Crucial.

Funny, tragic, fascinating and wholly accurate. Only a precious few books have the power to open our eyes while they move us to tears. This should be mandatory reading for every American.
