作者简介
Paul Kalanithi, M.D., was a neurosurgeon and writer. Paul grew up in Kingman, Arizona, before attending Stanford University, from which he graduated in 2000 with a B.A. and M.A. in English Literature and a B.A. in Human Biology. He earned an M.Phil in History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine from the University of Cambridge before attending medical school. In 2007, Paul graduated cum-laude from the Yale School of Medicine, winning the Lewis H. Nahum Prize for outstanding research and membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. He returned to Stanford for residency training in Neurological Surgery and a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience, during which he authored over twenty scientific publications and received the American Academy of Neurological Surgery’s highest award for research.
Paul’s reflections on doctoring and illness – he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2013, though he never smoked – have been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Paris Review Daily, in addition to interviews in academic settings and media outlets such as MSNBC. Paul completed neurosurgery residency in 2014. Paul died in March, 2015, while working on When Breath Becomes Air, an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both.. He is survived by his wife Lucy and their daughter Cady.

和此卖家交流,不由得精神为之一振,自觉七经八脉为之一畅,我在京东打滚这么多年,所谓阅人无数,与您交流我只想说,亲,你实在是太好了。 你的高尚情操太让人感动了。本人对卖家之仰慕如滔滔江水连绵不绝,海枯石烂,天崩地裂,永不变心。交易成功后,我的心情竟是久久不能平静。自古英雄出少年,卖家年纪轻轻,就有经天纬地之才,定国安邦之智,而今,天佑我大中华,沧海桑田5000年,神州平地一声雷,飞沙走石,大雾迷天,朦胧中,只见顶天立地一金甲天神立于天地间,花见花开,人见人爱,这人英雄手持双斧,二目如电,一斧下去,混沌初开,二斧下去,女娲造人,三斧下去,小生倾倒。得此大英雄,实乃国之幸也,民之福,人之初也,怎不叫人喜极而泣 .......看着交易成功,我竟产生出一种无以名之的悲痛感——啊,这么好的卖家,如果将来我再也遇不到了,那我该怎么办?直到我毫不犹豫地把卖家的加到收藏夹了,我内心的那种激动才逐渐平静下来。可是我立刻想到,这么好的卖家,倘若别人看不到,那么不是浪费心血吗?我要以此评价奉献给世人赏阅,我要给好评……评到所有人都看到为止... ..
