I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Note to self…

I loved the romcom Matthew McConaughey that I thought I knew. This book gave a fresh insight on the man he is in real life. He’s a storyteller, an artist, a surveyor of humanity, a dad, a wet dreamer, and an all American good guy. I listened to this audiobook on my commute to and from work every day with my one year old in her car seat. His booming Smokey velvet voice boomed on my surround sound everyday for a few weeks. Little did I know that my daughter became accustomed to hearing his voice everyday to the point that she cried for a few days after I stopped playing it. Suffice it to say, we both enjoyed the book and loved hearing him read it. My all time favorite story is the DURATION of the trip to Australia.
There was a hint of a privileged lifestyle that i could only ever aspire to understand but he never sounded pretentious while telling the story which made it more relatable and genuinely palatable.
At any rate, this was a great story.

In the widening grey zone between life and death, doctors fight with doctors, families feel pressured to make tough decisions about their loved ones and lawyers are left to argue life-and-death cases in the courts. Meanwhile, intensive care patients are caught in purgatory, attached to machines and unable to speak for themselves. In Death Interrupted, Dr Blair Bigham seeks to help listeners understand the options facing them at the end of their lives.

Interesting Perspective

As a healthcare professional, it took me a while to get over the mispronunciation of common medical terms like ECMO pronounced E-C-M-O, or trach with a short A, peg tube pronounced P-E-G tube, etc. However, that’s not the fault of the author.
This book helped me rethink my approach technology and death. The author has clearly been on a journey to understand life and death and I’m glad he shared his findings in this book. I don’t agree with all the points but can see how he got there. Nonetheless, it will make me change how I approach end of life conversations for my pediatric patients and their caregivers.
