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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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 A grandfather whose failing heart has been replaced by a battery-operated pump; a salesman who found himself a kidney donor on social media; a college student who survived a near fatal overdose and returned home,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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Gripping, soaring, inspiring.\"-Atul Gawande, author of \u003ci\u003eBeing Mortal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniela Lamas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316393177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316393171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Spark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018 pg. 119\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2018 pg. 10","brand":"Daniela Lamas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913711157503,"sku":"9780316393171","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_22dab7f1-56ec-4d7a-8252-827eda83b827.jpg?v=1680621820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-can-stop-humming-now-daniela-lamas-9780316393171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
