Being Mortal: Illness, Medicine and What Matters in the End Atul Gawande 2014
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
This book describes what patients go through when they become ill and the options available when they can no longer care for themselves. The traditional nursing home where residents live a regimented life is in stark contrast to assistedliving homes where residents live independently but have help available whenever needed.
