Till the Last Breath by Durjoy Datta

The death sentences of the patients in Room No. 509 have been written. One of them is a brilliant nineteen-year-old medical student, suffering from an incurable, fatal disease hurtling her towards a slow, painful death. She counts every extra breath as a blessing. The other is a wasteful twenty-five-year-old drug addict whose every organ system is slowly shutting down. He can t wait to get rid of his body--to him, the sooner the better. Two reputed doctors, fighting their own demons from the past, try everything to keep these two patients alive, even putting their medical licenses at risk. These last days in the hospital change the two patients, their doctors and all the other people around them in ways they had never fathomed. Till the Last Breath is a heart-warming story about love, life and friendship that reminds us what it means to be alive.
