"Incandescent . . . The real power of her book lies in her stories. Balanced and perfect, each one seeks out the reader's heart like a guided missile, and explodes."--"The New York Times" "Final Exam is a revealing and heartfelt book. Pauline Chen takes us where few do. . . Her tales are also uncommonly moving, most especially when contemplating death and our difficulties as doctors and patients in coming to grips with it."--Atul Gawande, author of "Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science" "Chen has a clear and unwavering eye for exposing the reality behind the mythology of medical training. . . . We would all do well to listen to what she has to say."--"San Francisco Chronicle" "In graceful, lucid prose, [Chen] narrates key events through which medical students and trainees first encounter death and, ultimately, depersonalize it. . . . Fresh and honest."--"Los Angeles Times Book Review"
Pauline Chen went to medical school because she dreamt of saving lives, but she had never thought how much death would be part of her work. Her account of how doctors negotiate the fact of death becomes a brilliant consideration of how we should live.
