This narrative serves as a meditation, an inward probing about the complexities of life and the inevitability of death. It is a poignant exploration of the drama, dreams, and regrets that color our lives, and the things we wish we could do over. </p><p>The book also presents a thoughtful examination of the meaning of doctoring and caring for those bound by time. The author posits that remaining open to honest self-reflection, constantly evoking the experiences of his patients and those in need, can lead not only to becoming a better physician but also a better human being. This is because, ultimately, both the individual as a patient-in-need and the physician face the same existential anxiety. </p><p>As Good As It Gets</em> is a reflection, an evolution of thoughts of a deathwatcher that grew out of the author's personal story as a physician, father, soldier, and husband.
