Atul Gawande is convinced that one of the main problems of modern medicine is the unwillingness to recognize the limitations of its capabilities and the inability to talk to patients about the inevitable - death. But death is not just a tragic accident, but a natural and natural outcome of our lives. It must be prepared for, it must be explained and it must be known. What are the properties of memory, muscles, skin, bones? Why do we grow old, how does the body wear out, what processes does the inexorable run of time trigger in it? Is it possible to brighten the last moments of the dying? Are there ways to delay the inevitable and is it always necessary to resort to them? Real stories, cases from practice, recent discoveries. All the things that medicine should have told about death. But it doesn't know how and is afraid.
