"A profound exploration of what it means for all of us to live-and
to die-with dignity and purpose." -People "Visceral and lyrical."
-The Atlantic 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.
