Great book about the ups and downs of an accomplished career, and notably his extended thoughts on passing with dignity.

This doctor seems highly unlikeable to me, and the book rambles often. Interesting to read about the subject, but many parts of the book did not relate to each other, and we jumped between topics frequently in a way that didn't drive the story forward.
