Gawande presents readers with his own experiences observing people in end-of-life care. He shows readers what end-of-life care is like in nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living homes, and hospice. He shows readers the downfall of a medical system that is solely focused on keeping the patient alive rather than focusing on their quality of life. Gawande gives readers a glimpse into what end-of-life care is like and the difficult decisions that must be made during this time through real-life stories of individuals and their families facing end-of-life care.\u003cbr\u003eBeing Mortal became the basis for a \"Frontline\" documentary on the television network PBS in 2015. It received a longlist nomination for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction in 2014.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Brief Look Inside:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEVERY GOOD BOOK CONTAINS A WORLD FAR DEEPER\u003cbr\u003ethan the surface of its pages.
