I was hoping this year I would be able to explore this genre and discover if I would like to read more of it. That is how I picked up this memoir by Paul Kalanithi. What made the book more personal to me is because so many of the conversations he has described are ones I have heard at the dining table between my parents, both of whom are doctors. And that is what I liked most about the book \u2013 how he opens up the world of a reader to how traumatic the life of a doctor is, both on the professional front and the personal front.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1492\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1492 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/when-breath-becomes-air2.jpg\" alt=\"When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/when-breath-becomes-air2.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/when-breath-becomes-air2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/when-breath-becomes-air2.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The book opens up with a surgeon examining a set of CT scans. He studies the images and puts forward his diagnosis. Yes, Cancer. Seems like an ordinary day in a surgeon\u2019s life. Except that\u00a0he is looking at his own scans. Fifteen months before he will completes his training to\u00a0become a full fledged professor of neurosurgery, death glares at him mercilessly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The book is a book of two sides or halves. The first half about saving lives and the second half about facing death. One half about the struggles of becoming a doctor and the second about the anguish of being a patient. One half showing cracks in a marriage and the other showing how deep it really was, in the minds of either partner. It was very moving to read how Kalanithi describes the harrowing experience of breaking bad news to patients as a surgeon and then later on transforms into a passive listener having to face bad news.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the journey. It broke my heart at some places and even made me smile at others. There were a few medical terms that were sprinkled through the book, but it did not dampen my enthusiasm to read further at all. There were new medical symptoms that I came across like the \u2018psychogenic syndrome\u2019 where the patient goes to a swoon like state and has to be coaxed back into reality by reassuring talks; and the one about how a small surgical mishap that cut 1 mm of a boy\u2019s hypothalamus caused him to be institutionalized later on; and the one about a 62 year old man unable to speak words except in terms of numbers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I would read this book for the philosophy and a human being\u2019s experience at the face of death than for its literary value. There was a very moving passage about a Mr. V who was greatly admired by Kalanithi for his professional integrity. When nearing his own death Mr. V asks Kalanithi, \u201c<em>Do you think I made the right choices? Do you think my life has meaning?<\/em>\u201d \u00a0The question strikes me violently, just as it struck Kalanithi, how doubtful are the questions looming in our mind in the face of mortality. The passages about Kalanithi\u2019s journey from a Literature student to a philosopher and how he ended up studying medicine offer even more food for thought. I loved Kalanithi&#8217;s humour when he says &#8220;I outlived the Brontes which is good news, the bad being I didn&#8217;t write anything yet&#8221; and also his notes on literature \u00a0about &#8220;Virginia Woolf getting into an Abyssinian ship dressed as a dignitary&#8221;. I did not enjoy much of the beginning parts of the book, but the middle portions had me hooked. The ending was abrupt indeed, because sometimes our words can be snatched away before we can end them the way we want.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a friend on Instagram, I came across this article by Paul\u2019s sister in law in her blog A cup of Jo\u00a0 about a makeover of the house after his death. I must say it made the book feel so real to me, that the people in the book exist, when I saw the pictures of the house where a gentle man as Kalanithi lived and breathed until breath became air.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>When Breath Becomes Air<\/em> is a tear jerker. But let that motivate you to pick it up, not deter you. And perhaps let it give you a sense of gratitude for all the time you are allowed on this earth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Title : When Breath Becomes Air<br \/>\nAuthor : Paul Kalanithi<br
