This time it was not iquite i 'nothing', br and hearing that, the patient felt a little glow br of relief spread through his body. He was not br imagining things. He noted a desire br to give in completely, collapse, grab br the doctor's coat and say br 'Please take care of me! ', br br to give himself br into someone's care br and be relieved br of the lonely march br down the long corridor of days br to the beat of an alien drum.
