#1 I had a patient named Fred Owen, who was dying of lung cancer. I had suspected it in September, when he first came to see me with symptoms of severe depression. The depression, the hacking cough, and his chain smoking had alerted me.

#2 The author met with Fred, who was dying of cancer. He had quit his job four months earlier, and was now trying to work through his relationships with his mother and wife.

#3 I told Fred that I believed that our consciousness does not cease with physical death, and that how we spend our time on earth is vastly more important than we can know. I had no idea what the next life would be like, but I was certain that my life as a psychiatrist was completely based on the experience.

#4 I explained to Fred that I was not going to try to draw any conclusions. I was just going to describe what happened from the moment I entered the Army hospital. Later, if he wanted to talk about what it meant, we could do that.
