from Medicine and Science from The BMJ · host The BMJ

Surgeon, writer, and researcher, Atul Gawande is best known for the development of surgical checklists, but the death of his father has inspired him to write his latest book exploring medical and societal attitudes to death. We joined him for breakfast during his whistle stop tour of the UK recording this year's BBC Reith Lectures, to discuss Being Mortal.
