How do you keep going? When Alison Murdoch's husband catches viral encephalitis and falls into a life-threatening coma, everything changes. \u003cem\u003eBed 12\u003c\/em\u003e is a survival guide to the world of acute medicine, and a poignant and darkly comic account of what it's like to fight for someone's life. Over the course of a summer, machines beep and clatter, medical staff come and go, and family and friends of varying beliefs offer well-intentioned advice. For someone unfamiliar with hospitals, death and dying, the insights of Buddhism assume a greater relevance than ever before.
