The Diving bell and the butterfly

Postby Malekx » Mon Jun 20, 2011 8:46 pm

Hello everyone

I've started reading :prof: ( The Diving bell and the butterfly ) by Jean-Dominique Bauby. It was written by a 43 year old editor in chief of Elle magazine in France, suffered a stroke which severely damaged his brain stem. After several weeks in a coma, he woke to find that he was one of the rare victims of a condition called "locked-in syndrome" or LIS, which had left his mind functioning but his body almost completely paralyzed.

I got this book as a present and I just started reading it this morining.I would be slow in reading it because I'm swamped with studying.
