This is hard to rate... I've read this at work x1.5 to x2 speed, not usually the speed I do books but did find it nice. This has two birth related scenes so if you have tokophobia not a great pick.

This book was about a doc. perspective and writings when he was dying to cancer. His journey is personal and well written. Interesting to read his working and embracing his death since he's seen both sides, additionally playing both sides being doctor/patient at once as well.


COVID-19 makes me think about nurses/doc everyday trying their best. Hearing his story now really has my heart goes out to those who treat their patients like people.
