When the Healer Becomes the Patient
A thirty-six-year-old neurosurgeon stands before a CT scan, but this time he's not analyzing a patient's fate-he's staring at his own. Paul Kalanithi had spent years guiding families through impossible decisions about life and death. Now, with stage IV lung cancer spreading through his lungs, spine, and liver, he faced the ultimate role reversal. The future he'd meticulously built-completing his residency, launching his dream career, starting a family-vanished in the time it took to read a radiology report. This wasn't supposed to happen to someone so young, so accomplished, so careful. Yet here he was, transformed from healer to patient in a single breath, forced to confront the questions he'd helped others navigate: How do you live when your future disappears? What makes life meaningful when time becomes your most precious and dwindling resource?
