pickI really enjoyed this book which is written by a surgeon. I loved reading about the personal experiences and perspectives of this surgeon which were bursting with detail,pure honesty and emotion. I look forward to reading another book by Dr. Ruggieri.
Ugh I hate that I need to read this 🤣
@CSeydel I started this on audio today and can already tell that it will affect me deeply. As a former hospice nurse, I‘m very aware of unnecessary and often more painful medical interventions that hurt rather than help. There is such a thing as a “good” death, one that allows quality of life in those last days/months rather than quantity. #ALSpine25 @monalyisha
My #April selection for #12booksof2024. Love this book.
My March pick for #12BooksOf2024 is Dr. Jen Gunter's latest (at December 2024). I found it extremely informative and well put together.
so-soI suspect this book was intended to be about friendship with a look into addiction as a mere subplot. Perhaps more broadly, it told the story of intense people who pour their whole selves into what they do, be it their sport, their profession, or their relationships. I read it, however, as a book about loneliness. The author, Abraham Verghese, wrote himself into this book. Surprisingly, to me, he was the most lonely character of all.
