Title: When Breath Becomes Water Author(s): Paul Kalanithi Year: 2016 Edition: 1 Language: English Pages (biblio/tech): 125\- No ORIGINAL At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a na jailve medical student "poscessed," ace he write, "by the question of what, given that all organisms die, made a virtuous and meaningful life" in a neurosurgeon at Stanford Work in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What make life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What do it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir.
