In my opinion, this is one of the best stories in the futuristic Forward collection.
When a man wakes up in terrible pain with no knowledge of who he is, where he is, or how he got there, and only the disconnected voice of Dr. Anne Kuhn to help him, he panics. It's Anne's job to help him emotionally, physically, and psychologically, and to do that she must gain his trust. And trust is something in short supply with this patient. Anne has all the answers but we the readers learn the truths along with the patient.
I do enjoy Paul Tremblay's books and this novella is an excellent addition to his catalog. He leads us on a twisty path of discovery all to answer Anne's final question: do you consent to the treatment? The answer does not disappoint. 4.5 stars.
