This true story encompasses the harrowing 108-day saga of Curtis, who is almost electrocuted and is severely burned. This accident, combined with a barrage of medical errors and substandard care, provokes further complications to his health and turns a month-long hospitalization into 108 days. Curtis spends thirty-five of these days on the brink of death in a chemically induced coma.

      This compelling human drama not only carries the layman through this fascinating and complicated medical course, but also provides evidence and proof positive of the desperate need to improve heathcare standards in America.  Curtis' wife Lisa, and her sister Dawn  stand firm and alone to battle doctors, nurses and administrators in an attempt to save this man's life. 

           This book will enlighten all readers with the truth about the status quo in America's most respected medical facilities. At the same time, it explores in depth the remarkable courage and fortitude of two women who face a dizzying onslaught of arrogance, indifference,  laziness, and neglect as they struggle to save Curtis' life. Curtis wages his own unconscious battle for survival, oblivious to the chaos around him.
