Gawande, a gifted surgeon, raises thoughtful questions as to how medicine can enhance the quality of life as we face end-of life. He grapples with the paradoxical limitations of his profession and anticipatory grieving as he struggles to guide his own father, also a surgeon, facing the end of his life. Good book discussion book.
