Thanks!

I just finished When Breath Becomes Air last night. I am a nurse who knew when I was 11 I would be one. As such I was very moved by this book and identified with how he strived to treat his patients and inspired with how he approached his illness. I can't even review it yet as I am still processing but I know I loved it.

Read it if you haven't

[Sam F]

All done!
