An eloquent first-person glimpse into the patient experience of an anoxic brain injury. Patients with brain injuries are often unable to tell us what they are experiencing; this book provides a means to understand what patients may need when they aren't able to communicate at prior levels. This account is a must-read for any member of the medical team, from those treating the initial injury to the rehabilitation professionals integrating patients back into their lives, and everyone in between.
