In the book Being Mortal, Atul Gawande, MD, discusses "the medicalization of mortality" and its consequences, including loss of independence, separation from loved ones, and patient and family financial strain. This book discussion group, facilitated by a physician with expertise in end-of-life care, will provide the opportunity for participants to reflect on care of their loved ones, on care they may want for themselves in the future, and to consider when "less is more" might be the best care plan. Dr. Sheryl L. Kurze is board certified in internal medicine, hospice, and palliative medicine. She has provided primary and end-of-life care in the Ann Arbor area for nearly 25 years. This study group is for adults 50+.
