When Michael Patrick kissed his wife goodbye before spinal surgery, he thought he was stepping into a routine procedure. Instead, he woke to nothing-no breath, no voice, no control. A failed extubation left him drowning on dry land, tethered to a ventilator in the ICU.
This is the story of what happened next.
Told with raw honesty and vivid, cinematic detail, I SEE U plunges readers into the seven-night coma where Michael's mind twisted reality into vivid horror. Burlap sacks, twisted auctions, and red domes blurred seamlessly with the hiss of machines and the relentless ICU beeping. For his wife Miranda and their children, it was seven days of living nightmare-watching his body fight for each fragile breath, never knowing if it would be his last.
But the coma was only the beginning.
What follows is a journey of survival and reckoning:
- The painful climb back through rehab, injections, and scarred lungs.
- The quiet strength of family-his wife's fierce love, his children's small anchors of hope.
- The courtroom battle still to come, as he faces down the insurance company that turned its back when he needed them most.
I SEE U is more than a memoir of near-death. It is a testament to resilience, the haunting power of trauma, and the stubborn will to reclaim life when everything-including your own body-seems determined to betray you.
Perfect for readers of medical memoirs, survival stories, or those drawn to the blurred line between dreams and reality, this book will leave you gasping, haunted, and ultimately inspired.
