Dr Atul Gawande: Matters of life and death in America

Katty Kay and Carlos Watson speak to Dr Atul Gawande - an author, surgeon and former member of President Biden’s Covid-19 Advisory Board - about matters of life and death.

This week’s guest wears many hats. Dr Atul Gawande is a medical doctor, a surgeon and a best-selling author, and has also been an advisor to presidents, including on the Covid pandemic.

Katty Kay of the BBC World Service and Carlos Watson of Ozy Media discuss a wide range of issues with Dr Gawande, including how we should face up to death and dying, and how we should speak to our loved ones about it.

A BBC World Service and OZY Media co-production.
