"The simple view is that medicine exists to fight death and disease, and that is, of course, its most basic task. Death is the enemy. But the enemy has superior forces. Eventually, it wins. And in a war you cannot win, you don't want a general who fights to the point of total annihilation."

- Atul Gawande, "Being Mortal"
