One thing I remember from the book was that I kept wishing he took time off from work. It seemed like his health issues spanned a long period of time, but he still kept working the long hours. I hope this comment doesn't rub people the wrong way. His work ethic is inspiring.  I just think his body was telling him it needed a break and he didn't listen.

I would generally agree with you, but he had dedicated ridiculous hours for the prior 11 years of his life to achieving his goal of becoming a neurosurgeon. To give up that close to the finish line would be a different sort of brutal.

Signed, someone who is in year 8 of 10 on a similar path.
