A journey through a near fatal illness September 18, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
"Raising The Dead" by Richard Selzer is a remarkable book. Beginning at the moment he realizes that something is just not right with him, "I can't say..." through a physically devastating journey through the illness of Legionnaires disease and of his trials and traumas he suffered while in long term Critical Care. His loving family and insightful wife, Janet, make for the lighter moments in the book. I've learned never to bring spooky, witch-headed tulips to a critically ill patient's bedside and how important a simple wall clock can be. So glad Richard survived to share with us his eloquently written journey of being suddenly stricken with a near fatal illness. I'm forever grateful that he is still among the living. In every one of his works, he brings to his readers the work of an intelligent and exceptionally talented man.
