Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End — When Medicine Mistakes Survival for Care
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande as a systems-level analysis of how modern healthcare structures aging, frailty, and dying around intervention, safety, and survival, influencing behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, cultural, and institutional structures.
