Intensive Care (1982)-PT 3/9 Alan Bennett

When Denis Midgley's father is rushed
to hospital, Midgley drops everything To be by his side. They've never really got on, so Midgley wants to be sure He's there if his father ever regains
consciousness. As he hates his job as
a schoolteacher, and his home-life with
his wife, her senile mother and their insolent teenage son, he has no
qualms about lingering around the
hospital. But as days turn into weeks,
his father obstinately refuses to 'slip
away', and Denis' motivation for Staying by his father's bedside has more and more to do with Valery, a
young nurse.
