"Beside from loving feminist classics, I’m obsessed with books written about life and death philosophies. In NCITOR, Dr. Wang has her own way of describing death that no other books have done it before. “We American tends to see death as an enemy to fight at all costs. But what exactly are we fighting?...They celebrate the person’s death in the same way they celebrate their life.”

I packed this book on my 9hrs flight to Sydney, but I wasn’t going to a singular destination. Dr. Wang has brought me down a memory lane, that includes: my first day arriving in the U.S., to my high school years dealing with the insecurity of having an accent, to the valuable experience I gained from a medical mission in the Philippines as a premed, to my imaginary future life of hoping that my generation can create changes that were mentioned.

Your words have not only provided insight into the medical field as well as on-going issues health care workers currently facing, but they have also touched me on a personal level: as a first-gen immigrant, a premed, a human. Through your vulnerable and honest narratives (boldly criticized a knowingly well-established world organization), you have shed light on the unique complexities of medicine’s behind closed doors and the human experience. Your courage to share your own vulnerabilities and struggles has made a lasting impression on me, and it is a reminder that doctors are also humans and that even the most esteemed professionals face their own challenges.

Thank you for sharing your journey with the world."
