Please note:This audiobook has been generated using AI Voice. This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I, IRV, have had a metal box implanted in my chest to help with my balance. It has been the source of much worry, though, as it could be the cause of a deadly blood clot if I ever fell. #2 I had a heart study done, and the results showed that I had 3, 291 atrial-ventricular blocks lasting a total of one day, six hours.
This was life-threatening, and I had to have an external pacemaker inserted. #3 I am calm, almost serene, as I wait for my wife to recover from her illness. I have lived my life fully, and I regret nothing. I am in the process of giving up my psychiatric practice, and my wife is now grievously ill. #4 I have thought about death since I was a child. I was present, or nearly present, at each of my parent's deaths.
My sister and I visited my mother in the hospital, and when we returned her bed had been stripped. Only the bare mattress remained.
