On Monday night, the literary agent, editor and publisher Andrew Blauner sent his contacts a PDF of "The Patient's Checklist" by Elizabeth Bailey. The book is currently out of print, and with no digital copies available, Blauner wanted people to have access to the text should they fall ill and have to go to the hospital. "You can send this version to anyone you'd like, anyone you think might be helped by it. It's the book which [doctor and author] Atul Gawande said ‘could save your life.' "
