'A profound meditation on a problem many of us will face; worthy of
being mentioned in the same breath as Atul Gawande's Being Mortal'
Kirkus As the American born daughter of immigrants, Dr. Sunita Puri
knew from a young age that the gulf between her parents'
experiences and her own was impossible to bridge, save for two
elements: medicine and spirituality. Between days spent waiting for
her mother, an anesthesiologist, to exit the OR, and evenings spent
in conversation with her parents about their faith, Puri witnessed
the tension between medicine's impulse to preserve life at all
costs and a spiritual embrace of life's temporality. And it was
that tension that eventually drew Puri, a passionate but
unsatisfied medical student, to palliative medicine - a new
specialty attempting to translate the border between medical
intervention and quality-of-life care. Interweaving evocative
stories of Puri's family and the patients she cares for, That Good
Night is a stunning meditation on impermanence and the role of
medicine in helping us to live and die well, arming readers with
information that will transform how we communicate with our doctors
about what matters most to us.
