"“We end up with institutions that address any number of societal goals from freeing up hospital beds to taking burdens off families’ hands to coping with poverty among the elderly—but never the goal that matters to the people who reside in them: how to make life worth living when we’re weak and frail and can’t fend for ourselves anymore. ” ― Atul Gawande, (p77, '3. Dependence' , 'Being Mortal', Profile Books, ISBN 978-1846685828)"
