That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour by Sunita Puri

4.0

I had very mixed feelings about this book. It was a well-written account of what it’s like to take care of patients who are close to death and the importance of acknowledging patients’ mortality. I didn’t necessarily enjoy it, though. I think this was because it’s too close to what I do everyday, and the stories did not feel original for that reason. So - I fully believe that every person who doesn’t work with end of life patients should read this book, but I don’t think I would personally read it again.
