So eloquently said

While I haven't posted a RehabRN reading list lately, I'm still reading. Right now, I'm really getting into Atul Gawande's Being Mortal. It's a story about living, moving on, assisted living, aging and dying.

The stories are really vivid and I can just about picture the folks they are discussing in front of me.

There are so many things we need to learn about aging, death, and dying.

Stay tuned.

It ought to be mandatory reading for everyone in healthcare - well, maybe not the pedi and obstetric folks. But otherwise, the whole idea of considering costs and benefits of treatments at all ages and in all settings makes a lot of sense. We need to get past the idea of lots of costly care for everyone, always. It is not sustainable.
