Frontline: Being Mortal (documentary)

FRONTLINE follows renowned New Yorker writer and Boston surgeon Atul Gawande as he explores the relationships doctors have with patients who are nearing the end of life. In conjunction with Gawande’s new book, Being Mortal, the film investigates the practice of caring for the dying, and shows how doctors — himself included — are often remarkably untrained, ill-suited and uncomfortable talking about chronic illness and death with their patients.

This documentary aired on Frontline in 2015. Check out the trailer here. You can purchase to view the entire documentary (54 min) here and I highly recommend his book of the same name Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End available through Amazon, Fishpond, Audible, Kindle etc.
