abstract: Cédric de Linage experienced coma through his wife, Amélie, after she suffered cardiopulmonary arrest. Here he describes the crucial role, during this period of uncertainty and fear, played by the nursing team. Through their care and day-to-day compassion, the team was able to treat the patient as a fragile but living patient.
