“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is

this: In love we find out who we want to be; in war we

find out who we are.

Today’s young people want to know everything about

everyone. They think talking about a problem will solve

it. I come from a quieter generation. We understand the

value of forgetting, the lure of reinvention.

Lately, though, I find myself thinking about the war and

my past, about the people I lost.

What is Dr. Atul Gawande talking about in

this excerpt from BEING MORTAL?“I learned about a lot of things in medical school, but

[blank] wasn't one of them. Although I was given a dry,

leathery corpse to dissect in my first term, that was

solely a way to learn about human anatomy. Our

textbooks had almost nothing on aging or frailty or

[blank]. How the process unfolds, how people

experience the [blank] of their lives, and how it affects

those around them seemed beside the point. The way

we saw it, and the way our professors saw it, the

purpose of medical schooling was to teach how to save

lives, not how to tend to their [blank].”
