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.
Prije tri godine kada sam saznala da mi je otac doživio snažan moždani udar, ušla sam u njegovu sobu  na intenzivnoj njezi na Neurološkom institutu u Montrealu i vidjela ga kako leži mirno kao mrtvac, priključen na uređaj za disanje.
