Three years ago, when I found out that my father had suffered a severe stroke in his brain stem, I walked into his room in the ICU at the Montreal Neurological Institute and found him lying deathly still, tethered to a breathing machine.
Acum trei ani, când am aflat că tata a suferit un accident vascular sever în trunchiul cerebral, am intrat în secția de terapie intensivă a Institutului Neurologic din Montreal şi l-am găsit zăcând nemişcat, conectat la un aparat de respirat.
