New Book Opens a Conversation About the Hidden Mental Effects of Intensive Care
A serious medical emergency can alter memory, perception, and identity beyond the immediate physical threat.
Tim Westall's book, The Fentanyl Chronicles: Tales of Delirium from Intensive Care, explores his vivid dream experiences during a prolonged hospital stay.
Westall experienced a near fatal heart attack while cycling in the Chiltern Hills in June 2024.
The book emphasizes recovery from intensive care as an emotional and psychological journey, not just a medical process.
