inevitably involves manipulating the brain, which is the very essence of human beings, and when communicating with patients undergoing brain surgery, we inevitably face the question of identity.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, brain surgery is usually the most dramatic event in a patient's life and their family's lives, and as with any major life event, it has a profound impact.\u003cbr\u003e At such a crucial turning point, the question is not simply whether to live or die, but which one is worth living for.\u003cbr\u003e For example, what choice would you make if you or your mother were forced to lose speech in exchange for a few more months of life? What choice would you make if you had to sacrifice vision loss to completely eliminate the small possibility of a fatal brain hemorrhage? What choice would you make if you lost the use of your right hand while trying to stop a seizure? How much pain would your child have to endure before they would say they'd rather die?\u003cbr\u003e ---pp.95-96\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe unique suffering caused by severe brain injury sometimes hurts the family more than the patient.\u003cbr\u003e So it's not just doctors who don't fully grasp the meaning.\u003cbr\u003e Even the family members gathered around their loved ones who lay with their heads shaved due to brain injuries do not fully understand the meaning.\u003cbr\u003e They look to the past.\u003cbr\u003e I think the memories they have accumulated over time, the feelings of love they feel anew, all of these are represented by the body placed before them.\u003cbr\u003e But I see the future that lies ahead.\u003cbr\u003e A breathing apparatus connected through a surgical hole in my neck, a clear liquid dripping drop by drop through a hole in my abdomen, a long and painful treatment process, and an incomplete recovery.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes, patients never return to the way they were before as people remember them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---p.113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One night, Lucy, who was lying next to me, asked. \u003cbr\u003e“Honey, what’s the scariest or saddest thing that’s ever happened to you?” “Leaving you.” I knew that having a baby would be a great joy for our family.\u003cbr\u003e Besides, I couldn't bear the thought that after I died, Lucy would have no husband or child.\u003cbr\u003e But I insisted that the final decision should be made by Lucy.\u003cbr\u003e In the end, she would have to raise the baby alone, and if my illness worsened, it would be even harder for her to take care of me as well.\u003cbr\u003e “Will we be able to spend more time together when we have a baby?” Lucy asked.\u003cbr\u003e “Wouldn’t death be more painful if I had to be separated from my baby?” “Even so, wouldn’t a baby be a wonderful gift?” I said.\u003cbr\u003e Lucy and I felt that life wasn't just about avoiding pain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---pp.173-174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, it was literature that gave me my vitality during this period.\u003cbr\u003e The future was so uncertain that it was making me feel helpless. \u003cbr\u003eThe shadow of death was so thick wherever I looked that every action felt meaningless.\u003cbr\u003e But I remember the moment when the worries that had been weighing me down disappeared and the sea of ​​anxiety that seemed impassable parted.\u003cbr\u003e As usual, I woke up in pain and had nothing to do after breakfast.\u003cbr\u003e The moment I thought, 'I can't go on,' an answer came to mind.\u003cbr\u003e That was also a line from Samuel Beckett that I learned a long time ago during my undergraduate years.\u003cbr\u003e “But I’ll keep going.” I got out of bed, took a step forward, and repeated that phrase over and over again.\u003cbr\u003e “I can't go on, but I'll keep going.”\u003cbr\u003e I'll go on).”\u003cbr\u003e ---pp.179~180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you become seriously ill, the outlines of your life become very clear.\u003cbr\u003e I knew I was going to die.\u003cbr\u003e But that was something I already knew. \u003cbr\u003eMy knowledge remained the same, but my ability to plan my life was completely ruined.\u003cbr\u003e Once I know how much time I have left, the task ahead becomes clear.\u003cbr\u003e If I had three months left, I would spend time with my family.\u003cbr\u003e If it takes a year, I will write a book.\u003cbr\u003e In 10 years, I will return to a life of treating people's illnesses.\u003cbr\u003e The truth that we can only live one day at a time didn't help much either.\u003cbr\u003e What on earth should I do with that day?\u003cbr\u003e ---p.193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Father, would you like to hold your daughter?” the nurse asked me.\u003cbr\u003e “Well, my body is so cold.” There was a chatter of teeth.\u003cbr\u003e “Still, I want to hug you.” They wrapped my daughter in a blanket and handed her to me.\u003cbr\u003e With one arm feeling the weight of the child and the other holding Lucy's hand, the possibilities of life seemed to unfold before us. \u003cbr\u003eThe cancer cells in my body may still be dying or growing again.\u003cbr\u003e In the vast horizon that stretched before me, I saw not an empty wasteland, but something simpler.\u003cbr\u003e It was a blank page on which I had to continue writing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e

thirty-six-year-old young doctor\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thirty-six, final year of neurosurgery residency before becoming a specialist.\u003cbr\u003e Just when it seemed like the life he wanted was within reach after a grueling fourteen-hour day of training, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and it completely changed his life.\u003cbr\u003e His last two years as a doctor, treating patients with critical brain injuries and battling death, and then becoming a patient himself, are told in intelligent and eloquent language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn January 2014, eight months after being first diagnosed with cancer in 2013, his column, \"How Long Have I Got Left?\", which was published in the New York Times, created a huge stir.\u003cbr\u003e Here he poignantly portrays the dilemma of a terminally ill patient who has been sentenced to death but does not know exactly when.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you are clear about how many months or years remain, the path forward will be clear.\u003cbr\u003e If it's three months, I'll spend that time with my family.\u003cbr\u003e If I had a year left, I would write the book I always wanted to write.\u003cbr\u003e If it's 10 years, I will return to the hospital and treat patients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My doctor just says this:\u003cbr\u003e “I can’t tell you how much time is left.\u003cbr\u003e “You have to find out for yourself what is most precious to you.” (From the text)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He realizes that if he can't know exactly when he will die, he has no choice but to continue living. \u003cbr\u003eHe returned to the operating room and, as the most senior resident, took on a tremendous workload, and his wife Lucy became pregnant through artificial insemination.\u003cbr\u003e However, just before completing his residency, his cancer rapidly worsens, forcing him to give up his path as a doctor and he struggles between life and death with his pregnant wife by his side.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, eight months after the birth of his daughter, Kady, he refused resuscitation and died in the arms of his loving family, in a clear mind.\u003cbr\u003e After Paul Kalanithi passed away in March 2015, the epilogue to the book, which he had been working on but never finished, was written by his wife Lucy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book was a hot topic as soon as the publishing plan was announced in the New York publishing world in December 2014, before the manuscript was even published, and contracts were signed within a day with Random House in the US, as well as Germany, Italy, and Brazil. In January 2016, upon publication of the original book, it rose to the number one spot on the Amazon and New York Times bestseller lists in the US, and maintained the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list for 12 consecutive weeks.\u003cbr\u003e The book was licensed to 38 countries around the world, and became an immediate bestseller in the UK, Germany, Italy, and Canada, where it had already been published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsking about the meaning of life across literature, philosophy, and medicine\u003cbr\u003e A unique essay combining experience and reflection, emotion and intellect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Paul Kalanithi was fascinated by young adult literature.\u003cbr\u003e He was fascinated by the question of what makes life meaningful, and literature provided a way to convey the meaning of life in the form of stories. \u003cbr\u003eThen, he learned that the human mind is a function of the brain, so he majored in English literature and biology at Stanford University.\u003cbr\u003e As he explored human beings as both physiological and spiritual beings, he eventually decided to become a doctor.\u003cbr\u003e It was “an opportunity to connect with those who suffer and to continue to ponder the question of what makes human life meaningful even in the face of physical decline and death.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Paul Kalanithi chose his field of expertise precisely because of that sense of calling. \u003cbr\u003e“Neurosurgery seemed to me to be the most challenging and directly confronting of meaning, identity, and death.” The author, who chose the profession of medicine based on humanistic insights, and who has constantly pondered what he could do for patients with catastrophic brain injuries, raises questions for our society about the role medicine and science can play in human lives and what makes a good doctor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Neurosurgeons work in the harsh furnace of identity.\u003cbr\u003e All brain surgery inevitably involves manipulating the brain, which is the very essence of human beings, and when communicating with patients undergoing brain surgery, we inevitably face the question of identity.\u003cbr\u003e The point is not simply whether to live or die, but which one is worth living for. \u003cbr\u003eWhat choice would you make if you were forced to lose your voice in exchange for a few more months of life? What if you lost the use of your right hand while trying to stop a seizure? How much pain would your child have to endure before they would say they'd rather die? (Excerpt from the text)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And finally, at the age of thirty-six, the author is sentenced to death and finds himself in the position of his patients.\u003cbr\u003e Just as he didn't know when he would die even before he was diagnosed with cancer, he despairs over the fact that he doesn't know when he will die after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.\u003cbr\u003e If you don't know when you'll die, you have no choice but to keep living.\u003cbr\u003e With a keen awareness of death, which is much closer than before.\u003cbr\u003e He repeats a line from Samuel Beckett:\u003cbr\u003e “I can’t go on.\u003cbr\u003e Still I can't go on.\u003cbr\u003e I'll go on).\u003cbr\u003e Even if I am dying, I am still alive until I actually die. \u003cbr\u003e“I decided to keep living instead of dying.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even as my body crumbled toward death, there was a firm hope that my future would not be taken away.\u003cbr\u003e As he struggled to type on his keyboard, his fingertips cracking from chemotherapy, Paul Kalanithi left this final letter to his daughter:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the time comes to explain how you lived, what you did, and what meaningful contributions you made to the world, I hope you won't forget that you filled your father's dying days with joy.\u003cbr\u003e It was a joy my father had never felt in his life, and because of it, he was able to rest comfortably, contented, and without wishing for more.\u003cbr\u003e At this moment, it's really a huge deal to me.\u003cbr\u003e (From the text) \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of publication:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover book binding method guide\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 284 pages | 348g | 128*188*22mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788965961956\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8965961955 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43890720145450,"sku":"112396","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/c30b14c6356bd2034d04fe122527c41f.jpg?v=1765304620","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/112396","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
