Atul Gawande could we have him for a web chat please

[MegCleary]

He is doing the Reith lectures which will be broadcast shortly on the BBC his recent book Being Mortal would be a good place to start a national debate on a 'good death'.

My first begging post to the powers of mumsnet (scraping the floor bow).

Where better to start a national campaign on open discussions on death .

That would be amazing. I love everything he does. Have you read The Checklist manifesto, Meg?

Hi MegCleary,

Ooh, good suggestion.

And seeing as you begged asked so nicely , we'll put this to the Powers That Be and let you know what they think.

Did you hear the 'story' about the 3 year old girl this morning on R4 - utterly compelling!!

Morning

Sounds fascinating - thanks for flagging. RachelMumsnet (webchat supremo) will see what she can do.

Have fainted (while typing). Thank you.
