This book caused me to reflect a lot on what relationships I would want to have with patients. I also feel i missed some of the meanings, so I look forward to rereading this book in the future.

5.0

This book will stay with me for a long time. Such poignant insights into first life as a surgeon, and later living with a terminal illness, all underpinned by questions of existentialism. The parallels drawn between medicine/neurosurgery and the philosophical/literary idea of The Sublime really stuck with me. I think I feel a similar calling towards medicine, in addition to my inclinations towards human biology and literature.
