Atul Gawande

Dropping Starbursts, generating buzz and losing Koko + this day in history w/Tony Bliar resigns and our song of the day by Jim James on your Morning Monarchy for June 27, 2018.

We live in a very particular death-denying society. We isolate both the dying and the old, and it serves a purpose. They are reminders of our own mortality. We should not institutionalize people. We can give families more help with home care and visiting nurses, giving the families and the patients the spiritual, emotional, and financial help in order to facilitate the final care at home.
– Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, On Death and Dying, 1969
