Atul Gawande

Medium Paperback
Everyone dies! is a touching masterpiece written by doctor and best-selling author Atul Gawande. Not only does the book have the potential to shake up modern medicine, but it will also help completely transform the lives of people – including yourself!

The world's medical profession has made great strides in the years of reducing infant mortality, improving trauma survival rates, treating and controlling a wide range of diseases – including many that were considered incurable in the past. But no matter how powerful the expansion is, medicine is forever helpless against the immutable laws of human birth, aging, disease, and death Every time people are faced with Old Age and Death, the inherently powerful tools of medicine suddenly betray the very ideal of saving humanity that they are serving.

With valuable scientific research and vivid stories from his own patients and relatives, Dr. Gawande exposes to us the consequences and pain that people suffer from the above paradox. Nursing homes were originally set up with the good intention of helping the elderly live a happy and fulfilling life despite old age, but many nursing homes today are transformed into self-contained buildings that resemble prisons, where the elderly are not allowed to eat the food they like and are not allowed to do what they want I want to. Many doctors are excellently trained, but do not know how to tell patients the truth about their illness; Instead, doctors rely on false hopes about medicine's ability to save lives and propose a series of treatments to feed those false hopes. After all, this action only makes the patient and their relatives more miserable and does not bring them any benefit both physically and mentally.

In his books, surgeon Atul Gawande uses his powerful and fearless pen to reveal to us the truth behind medicine as well as the battles that physicians like him face and struggle to overcome. This time, with Everyone Dies!, he exposes us the limitations and shortcomings of medicine – both in his specialty and in others – when human life is threatened by aging and death. Through this, he also discovered that everything has a solution, that we can completely do it differently, to bring a better life to everyone as well as to ourselves.

To uncover the source of all problems and solutions, Dr. Gawande followed a female nurse who worked as a home caregiver, interviewed many of the geriatricians and worked with them, and came into contact with radical and humanistic nursing home administrators. He found people who knew how to speak the truth and prove to the world that each of us can and has the right to pursue a good and happy life despite old age and infirmity without sacrificing the values of life that we love or worship.
