TUNED IN: Notes from Bob Davis, executive director of High Plains Public Radio
HPPR Radio Readers Book Club’s 2018 Fall Read's is underway. The theme is “Let's Talk—Aging, Death, & Dying.”
Check out Dr. Phillip Periman’s review of Dr. Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End.Periman, a retired hematologist/oncologist in Amarillo, writes:
“One of Gawande’s first contentions is that we as a people are not comfortable confronting or thinking about the inevitability of our aging and dying. He contends this avoidance leads our society to expensive and harmful care of the elderly. He is particularly concerned that we have made aging a medical problem and not a meaningful life issue. His take on medical education is that medical students and young physicians learn how to diagnosis and treat, but not how to think about the elderly.”
Keep up with the latest reviews here.
