So much of powerful writing comes from powerful experiences. Exploring new experiences might be one way to overcome a paucity of original ideas. (less)

Writing, however, allows me to pursue whatever I find interesting, without a need to explain or justify it as part of my 5 or 10 year plan.(less)

Quotes by Haider Warraich  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Doctors experience death more than any other professionals do—more than firefighters, policemen, or soldiers—yet we always think about death as a very concrete construct. It’s a box on a checklist, a red bar on a chart, or an outcome in a clinical trial. Death is secular, sterile, and singular—and, unlike many other things in medicine, incredibly binary. So it was interesting to think of death more as a concept and a process than as a fact and an endpoint.”
Haider Warraich, Modern Death: How Medicine Changed the End of Life
tags: death

“We have delayed death but have also made getting there more difficult.”
Haider Warraich, Modern Death: How Medicine Changed the End of Life

“Pain is the interpretation of nociception, translating its wordless language into a vocabulary that we can understand.”
Haider Warraich, The Song of Our Scars: The Untold Story of Pain
