Before all else, I have to commend Hadley Vlahos for the vulnerability she has shared in this memoir. Beyond the impact of patient care has had on her development as a person but on much more personal experiences.
I will say I don’t think I was as emotionally hard hit as some other reasons but perhaps as I am not a spiritual person per se maybe they didn’t resonate with me as much.
A solid memoir in the stories told though they all follow very much the same pattern which I suppose is to be expected - but I had hoped for a bit more depth on the patients themselves perhaps and less of the ‘life lesson’ and spirituality around death.
Glad I finally got round to listening and is worth a read though can’t see myself picking up again in future.
