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.
För tre år sedan, när jag fick reda på att min far fått en allvarlig stroke i sin hjärnstam, klev jag in i hans rum på intensiven på Montreals Neurologiska Institut och fann honom liggande blick stilla, bunden till en andningsmaskin.
