And I am sitting by my father's bedside in hospital, trying to work out whether I should let him drink the one-and-a-half-liter bottle of water that his doctors just came in and said, "You must make him drink today," -- my father's been nil by mouth for a week -- or whether, by giving him this bottle, I might actually kill him.
A já sedím v nemocnici na kraji postele svého otce a snažím se rozhodnout, jestli ho mám nechat vypít jeden a půl litrovou láhev vody, kterou donesl doktor se slovy: „Dnes ho musíte přimět pít,“ – můj otec nic nepozřel celý týden – nebo jestli ho tím, že má dám tu láhev, nemůžu náhodou zabít.
