'ö-Dzin Tridral 🏴 quoted Being Mortal by Atul Gawande (Wellcome Collection)
“We've been wrong about what our job is in medicine. We think our job is to ensure health and survival. But really it is larger than that. It is to enable well-being. And well-being is about the reasons one wishes to be alive. Those reasons matter not just at the end of life, or when debility comes, but all along the way. ” ― Atul Gawande, (p259, 'Epilogue' , 'Being Mortal', Profile Books, ISBN 978-1846685)
