“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is
this: In love we find out who we want to be; in war we
find out who we are.
Today’s young people want to know everything about
everyone. They think talking about a problem will solve
it. I come from a quieter generation. We understand the
value of forgetting, the lure of reinvention.
Lately, though, I find myself thinking about the war and
my past, about the people I lost.
Lost.”

What is Dr. Atul Gawande talking about in
this excerpt from BEING MORTAL?“I learned about a lot of things in medical school, but
[blank] wasn't one of them. Although I was given a dry,
leathery corpse to dissect in my first term, that was
solely a way to learn about human anatomy. Our
textbooks had almost nothing on aging or frailty or
[blank]. How the process unfolds, how people
experience the [blank] of their lives, and how it affects
those around them seemed beside the point. The way
we saw it, and the way our professors saw it, the
purpose of medical schooling was to teach how to save
lives, not how to tend to their [blank].”
