  1. Time to reread a favourite book of mine,

    'Being Mortal - Aging, Illness, Medicine, and What Matters in the End'
    By Atul Gawande

    Recommended reading for anyone who knows anyone who is getting older or who will be getting older themselves at some point.

    But that dignity comes from a patient-centered approach, not a profit-centered one.
