“You can’t ever reach perfection, but you can believe in an asymptote toward which you are ceaselessly striving.”

The saddest thing is that the author never got to finish the book, and his wife had to write up a conclusion. That broke me. Quality read about success and humanity.

I thought I would be okay (and I was doing fine until the end) because I work in dialysis and death is not unfamiliar to me. But the epilogue got me.

Moving. Tragic yet uplifting treatise on dying and living.

Reading this book made me realise how invested I am at looking at a patient from a healthcare professional's POV. Definitely an eye opening read! Will definitely recommend to everyone
