Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? - Plot & Excerpts
Liz is in the ICU at St Luke’s hospital, in a tiny, private room, wired up to monitors, drips, wires, the whole works.She’s slid into a deep coma, the doctors have explained to us, brought on by the massive overdose of narcotics that were in her system. Apparently she was convulsing when they first admitted her, her blood pressure was through the ceiling and she was vomiting everywhere. And on top of all that, they’ve got her on oxygen to try and stabilise her breathing, as well as an IV drip to try and get some hydration back into her.They’re doing everything for her, we’re assured over and over again, but the battle is far from over. The chances that she could come out of this permanently brain damaged are high. Or worse still, there’s a chance she may not come out of it at all. I try to ask what are the odds of her coming out of it unscathed but I’d forgotten that the medical profession don’t deal in mindless optimism. ‘We’re doing everything we can,’ is the only oblique answer I get.
