Frontline: Being Mortal

Frontline follows renowned New Yorker writer and Boston surgeon Atul Gawande as he explored the relationships doctors have with patients who are nearing the end of life. In conjunction with Gawande's 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.
