Despite the swagger and a steely surgeon; a senior professor and a Brigadier General, Dr. Cheema is a physician with heart. His involvement; living and dying with his patients and friends, at times blur the line of empathy; so critical in his profession. Trained at home and in England he has spent his life harvesting anecdotes while practicing in different parts of the world. He states the facts innately highlighting his experiences in this book about life and death. He tells a story with panache and then leaves the rest for the readers.
