Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Caring for a loved one in a coma is a distressing time, full of many questions, and often, not as many answers. Guide to the Comatose Patient is a first-of-its-kind book that steps into the shoes of the neurologist, to show the perspective of the staff caring for their loved ones what worries us, how we think and intervene, what we can and cannot predict, and what we know as a certainty.
