Novel & Cerita When Breath Becomes Air

I struggle to keep my eyes open and rest on him as he motions for me to follow him. "Breathe in and out." It sounds a bit clearer now, and I try to draw in a breath and then let out an exhale. He bobs his head. "Yeah, just like that. You're okay. You're doing well. Breathe in and out." I follow his directions again, and I can feel my lungs expanding. "You're doing well. Keep doing that."

Once you get used to the count, increase it to twenty, then thirty…then you won't need a break to breathe.” said Burdak.
