For the future
Dr. Atul Gwande is a prominent neurosurgeon whose perspective on death and dying changed when his own father was diagnosed with cancer. Dr. Gwande’s work has been very well received and recognized over the last few years. When you have a bit of free time (maybe between semesters), I strongly recommend reading his book titled Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End – well worth your time!
