There is, however, a skill to it, a developed body of professional expertise. One may not be able to fix such problems, but one can manage them. And until I visited my hospital’s geriatrics clinic and saw the work that the clinicians there do, I did not fully grasp the nature of the expertise involved, or how important it could be for all of us.

Additional quotes by Atul Gawande

As people become aware of the finitude of their life, they do not ask for much. They do not seek more riches. They do not seek more power.

In modern society, we have come to assume that debility and dependence rule out such autonomy.
