Woody,

As long as you just tell us once, I think it is OK. I'll save you the
trouble of a repeat post.

Best I can tell from looking at the NYT online, and matching yesterday's
books which have only one by the publisher Knopf, and only one by a
female author, you must be writing about:

        FINAL EXAM: A Surgeon�s Reflections on Mortality

        By Pauline W. Chen

The review speaks highly of the book and Dr. Chen, calling it "a series
of thoughtful, moving essays on the troubled relationship between modern
medical practice and the emotional events surrounding death."

The review can be found at http://tinyurl.com/yaeckr

And if I am wrong, well, this looks like an interesting book anyway, and
all of us will have to deal with doctors and someone's mortality at some
point in the future.
