Being Mortal Audiobook
No matter how hard we try to increase our life, we are proven to be mortal in the end which means that we are going to die sooner or later. Man has been trying to improve or increase his life since the beginning and he has succeeded in various things too but he has not been able to transform himself into an immortal being. Atul Gawande is an experienced surgeon and he has witnessed all kinds of progress in the field of medicine and surgery with his own eyes.
He tells us how the birth of a human being is now in secure hands and the fears of the past are not there anymore. The injuries and other deadly things like that are more manageable as compared to the past so saving a life is much easier now if we compare these situations with the past.
However, the situation still cannot be taken as something perfect although the doctors are committed to their field now and are far better equipped. No doctor has been able to save the life of his patients on a hundred percent average. So despite the fact that we know everything about viruses and other bacterial diseases and we can go through serious surgeries with accuracy but we are going to die sooner or later. All of this discussion should not be taken as a negative or pessimist talk because the author wants us to live life up to the maximum level.
Instead of thinking about the pains or surgeries and other things of that kind we should try to be with our loved ones till the last day. Complications and The Checklist Manifesto take the same story further. These books are quite helpful for the common man because these books give us hope to live a better life. We stop thinking about the diseases or the ratio of survival during surgery rather we start thinking about life.
