Frontline: Being Mortal

Drawn from surgeon/author Atul Gawande's book of the same title, this "Frontline" program investigates the unique relationships doctors have with dying patients. Contrary to what the public might expect, Gawande illustrates how those professionals who play such a pivotal role as people near the end of their lives often discover how ill-prepared they are to navigate conversations about death. 60 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English (SDH).
