To the public eye, medical stories often begin with sirens and flashing lights and culminate in survival or death. But these are only the most visible narratives. As a critical care doctor treating people at their sickest, Daniela Lamas is fascinated by a different story: what comes after for those whose lives are extended by days, months, or years as a result of our treatments and technologies? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou Can Stop Humming Now\u003c\/i\u003e, Lamas explores the complex answers to this question through intimate accounts of patients and their families. A grandfather whose failing heart has been replaced by a battery-operated pump; a salesman who found himself a kidney donor on social media; a college student who survived a near fatal overdose and returned home, alive but not the same; and a young woman navigating an adulthood she never thought she'd live to see - these moving narratives paint a detailed picture of the fragile border between sickness and health. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Riveting, gorgeously told, and deeply personal, \u003ci\u003eYou Can Stop Humming Now\u003c\/i\u003e is a compassionate, uncompromising look at the choices and realities that many of us, and our families, may one day face.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Gripping, soaring, inspiring.\"-Atul Gawande, author of \u003ci\u003eBeing Mortal\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349330108720,"sku":"BDcbgw","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cbgw-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776239606","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cbgw","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
