I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it can be a little heavy on the medicalese at times. Despite not having a medical background I was still able to follow along. 

This story is full of great quotables and the final portion of the second half of the book is enough to make a grown man cry.

I cried a LOT. This should be compulsory reading for anyone who has or may have contact with the medical profession- so, everyone.
