the patient’s entire stay in the ICU. For later review.”[359] Ethan figured they kept a digital record as evidence to defend against frivolous lawsuits.“Here’s Whistler’s EEG when first admitted to the ICU at four-twenty P.M. last Friday.”An unseen stylus drew a continuous line left to right across an endlessly scrolling graph.“These are the brain’s electrical impulses as measured in microvolts,” O’Brien continued.A monotonous of the same data studied in real time.Indeed, the sameness of the patterns was so remarkable that Ethan would not have realized how many hours—days—of data were streaming by if there hadn’t been a time display on theseries of peaks and valleys depicted Dunny’s brain activity. The peaks were low and wide; the valleys were comparatively steep and narrow.“Delta waves are the typical pattern of normal sleep,” O’Brien explained. “These are delta waves but not those associated with an ordinary night’s rest. These peaks are broader and much lower than common delta waves, with a smoother oscillation into and out of the troughs. The electrical impulses are few in number, attenuated, weak. This is Whistler in a deep coma. Okay. Now let’s fast-forward to the evening of the day before his death.”“Sunday night.”“Yes.”On the screen, as hours of monitoring flew past in a minute, the uncommon delta waves blurred and jumped slightly, but only slightly because the variation from wave to wave was minuscule. An hour of compressed data, viewed in seconds, closely resembled any minute
