Final Exam

A Surgeon's Reflections on Mortality

Pauline W. Chen

A transplant surgeon confronts the paradoxes of medicine in Final Exam. As she journeys through her education, training, and practice, she grapples with mortality and the depersonalization of dying. From dissecting cadavers to witnessing a patient's death, she confronts her own fears and rejects the idea of suppressing her feelings for patients. This moving and provocative book is a compassionate exploration into the heart of a world that touches us all.
