In their own words.

A veteran's account of 32 days in ICU — three surgeries, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and a moment of seeing his wife through a song she was playing by his bed.

A stem cell transplant patient who developed Legionella sepsis, spent weeks on life support, and woke to a body and life significantly changed by what happened.

A COVID ICU patient who spent seven days in a coma, watched people die around him, and found the hardest part was coming home to a world that had stopped wanting to hear about it.

A woman who has no memory of her own ICU admission — and whose account of what she was told, and what she imagined while there, is entirely its own.
