Beautiful human being who lived more in 37 years than most of us. Wife seems to be an equally beautiful person....so courageous of them to have a child knowing his condition was terminal. A story I will never forget.
Just finished his book “when breathe becomes air” what an incredible book. Couldn’t stop crying towards the end of the book. Thank you Paul🙏 rest in peace 😇
I have read this amazing book by this incredible Doctor more than twice, and my heart breaks for his wife and Cadie, even though I know they have a strong support system. I have purchased the book to give as gifts to my friends and family,for every special occasion because I feel it's such an incredible story, it needs to be heard. I am a widow and was left to raise an 11 year old by myself., so I understand what devastation losing a loved one can have on one's existence. I pray for his brothers and parents, and wish them peace. This book will have a special place in my library and I thank Dr. Kalanithi for sharing it with us.
Dr. Paul &Dr. Lucy are remarkable people. I am so pleased they had each other and a beautiful daughter. Dr. Paul is at peace now. I pray Dr. Lucy and their baby have the continued love of Paul and their family. God Bless, Cheryl
He was an Amazing , brilliant neurosurgeon. In his memoir he talks about the intrinsic depths of brain surgery,his own struggle battling cancer R. I.P Dr Paul Kalinithi.
Thank you for sharing Paul’s memoir, I am so proud of both of your strength. I am a stomach cancer survivor. I have no stomach now, my mother died of stomach cancer and at times it makes me wonder why I live and not other wonderful people. I wish I could do what you did to raise awareness. Most people know of the few cancer, but there is much more to be done for cancer research... I am obsessed with your story. Bless you and your daughter and the love the Paul spread while alive and still is in your recorded videos and book. 💕🙏🏼
Dear Paul I see the love you had in you and you kindness I will do always remember you and your wife . You are in a loving place and very much love a pure a beautiful Love with God our Creator love Angela 💫
I have read the book "When breath becomes air" .. This is an amazing book.Especially the second part "cease not till death" nd the epilogue by Lucy Kalanithi is just amazing. I have read this like 10 times till now. The way he embraces life inspite of being diagnosed with Cancer is just amazing. It is not easy... I must say "Lucy Kalanithi" hi wife is very strong person who stood by him through out.
Deeply touched with every words that you wrote Paul, being a medico gotta feel it better, You are the bravest man Have Ever seen... that moment you Agreed to take of the Mask.....Huge Respect.. and The support from Lucy... You may have a lot to live ahead.. if there is a life hereafter💘
I have read This book and I had sensación to read a book by Schopenhauer .So much philosophy. Paul is talking About:Life, Profesion, Family, Love but not least of Death too
Dr. Kalanithi was a doctor who, according to his memoir, asked for an MRI to check for cancer on the basis of his symptoms. He was refused the MRI in order to save on costs. Six months later, he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. What would his chances have been had he been diagnosed six months earlier? I know from personal experience that doctors are way too frugal with giving diagnostic tests. I hurt my foot in Nov 2015 but the doctor refused to give me an MRI and I was finally diagnosed with a torn lisfranc ligament four months later. The foot was not properly protected in the interim and I have a chronic foot problem now--pseudoarthritis. I feel like this frugality with ordering tests is really an argument for a single payer, government run system. In a single payer system, the government would own the machines. The marginal cost of an MRI test would be the technician's time and the radiologist's time and that's it. It wouldn't cost the thousands of dollars that an insurance company currently must pay in order to use the machine. There shouldn't be this economic impetus to prevent patients from getting properly tested.
The crazy thing is I am alive and I am just wasting every moment not deliberately but I have no motivation for anything. The things I live have no empowering effect… everything g I do is a struggle and I’m just going to work each day and trying to switch off when I get home but instead I. Worrying about what I need to do for the next day and so end up having to get up in the early hours to do the work that never seems to get done. Today my GP said my cholesterol is up from 6.3 to 8.0 LLP Amy BMI is 42% close to developing type II diabetes blood pressure is very high and I have a 20% chance of dying before I reach the age of 67 in 10 years time… crazy as it is it doesn’t have any eff et except makes me want to sink further down into this pit. Where do terminally I’ll people get their energy from… I just want it all to be over… crazy isn’t it how some people are dying to live to and those of us who have life sometimes don’t want it. … saying that it’s not as simple as that statement it’s not that I don’t want to live I just can’t … I can’t organise my life, my meals, my diet, tidying the house, sorting the junk everything just piles up and evil bastards like Donald Trump are destroying the planet….
Subject of course has to compel you. But is IS well written, with the heightened awareness that recognizing your own mortality can bring. The reader empathizes...and sympathizes. Trailer for the book is puzzling, though...is that REALLY Dr. Kalanithi? Looks too healthy -and, if staged as a re-enactment- is unworthy of the book's sincerity.
I dont understand your question... Does having a cancer diagnosis make you appear unhealthy on the outside? Same case with HIV, most people dont know they have it till they get tested since they appear 'healthy'. I guess I'm puzzled that you'd think that was a Paul impersonator and for what? How would that serve them?

Idan Solon I was wondering about that - he seemed to lightly touch on it.

+John Meyer .....you know this video is nearly a year old(that's if your are commenting about this video).
