Dismayed, she summons a well-known neurologist. In addition to her brother's condition, there are mysteries surrounding the accident, including a cryptic condition, there are mysteries surrounding the accident, including a cryptic note left at the hospital bedside, Even Mark's nurse's aide seems to conceal more than she reveals.
