Books on the Nightstand discussion

Thank you Michael for recommending When Breath Becomes Air. As a physician I enjoyed the first half of the book as sort of a walk down memory lane. The path we chose is not an easy one and it is most definitely a calling not a career. The second half of the book called to me as a grieving daughter that just lost her mother to cancer. I wish I could have read this while she was alive as I think it may have helped me to make those last months better. I also felt so strongly that pull between being the patient (or in my case the daughter of the patient) and being the doctor. There is nothing harder than letting the doctor do their job. There is always the question what about this and what about this. I'll never forget a specialist bring at a loss and just point blank asking me what do you think and is there anything you want me to order. Such an incredible burden to carry. I do not read quickly as I tend to want to absorb each word. This book however I finished in one sitting making great use of my day off. So once again....thank you

It sounds really good, think I may download in Audible.
