A Comprehensive Book Review of Being Mortal Gawande starts by explaining that doctors in general are never trained to tend to the emotional needs of the patient. The only things that he learned was to identify, diagnose, treat and cure diseases that plagued modern medicine. He was trained to understand the complex science behind the human body, not the mind. He did not realize just how relevant emotions are in real life until he started practicing medicine and treating the dying. There is one case in particular that has a lasting impact on Gawande and changed his world forever. During his stay as a junior surgical resident, Gawande treated a patient by the name of Joseph Lazaroff for cancer. Science had not yet found a cure for his condition, so, not surprisingly, radiation treatment failed. There was only one last option left, and it was to perform surgery on Mr. Lazaroff. While surgery was the only real option left, the doctors were aware there was slim chance of success. In the best case scenario, the surgery would be able to extend his life for a few months, a life confined to a hospital bed. While surgery was an option, it was very high risk. There was a good chance that Mr. Lazaroff would not survive the surgery and on top of that, post-surgery complications were severe. The doctors presented the options to Mr. Lazaroff, and he chose the surgery thinking that it was his best solution. The surgery was performed and two weeks later, Mr. Lazaroff passed away due to complications from the surgery. Here is a Preview of What You Will Get: ⁃ A Detailed Introduction ⁃ A Comprehensive Chapter by Chapter Book Review ⁃ Etc Get a copy of this book review and learn about the book.
