"Lacking a coherent
view of how people might live successfully all the way to their very end, we
have allowed our fates to be controlled by the imperatives of medicine,
technology, and strangers.”

“Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End”
It is going to be another week of information and decisions, decisions and even more
decisions. After a slew of new medicines, I see a new doctor (a.k.a stranger) with a new set of solutions technology, ICD, internal cardiac defibrillator. CRAP.... I managed to hit all 3 of Dr. Gawande's imperatives in 2 weeks and it pretty much sucks! That is what I am thinking this morning with
my peanut m&m’s.

yes, I know this is not an appropriate breakfast
but I do inappropriate so well!
