Atul Gawande Quotes
As Different As Emily Dickinson's Parents' Life In America Seems From That Of Sitaram Gawande's In India, Both Relied On Systems That Shared The Advantage Of Easily Resolving The Question Of Care For The Elderly. There Was No Need To Save Up For A Spot In A Nursing Home Or Arrange For Meals-on-wheels. It Was Understood That Parents Would Just Keep Living In Their Home, Assisted By One Or More Of The Children They'd Raised. In Contemporary Societies, By Contrast, Old Age And Infirmity Have Gone From Being A Shared, Multigenerational Responsibility To A More Or Less Private State - Something Experienced Largely Alone Or With The Aid Of Doctors And Institutions. How Did This Happen? How Did We Go From Sitaram Gawande's Life To Alice Hobson's?
