Summary, etc. At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade?s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi?s transformation from a nav̐e medical student ?possessed,? as he wrote, ?by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life? into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality.
