He has visions of a young girl named Rose who died of a severe asthma attack while under his care. He also starts feeling close to Patricia Arquette's character, the daughter of a heart attack victim.

Bringing Out the Dead (3332 words)
Bringing Out the Dead is for people who want to see a movie believably and honestly explore and handle its material.

Bringing Out the Dead is about showing what he's going through, and it goes about this in every way from voice over narration that gives us perspective to hallucinations that show the haunting and maddening aspects of watching so many people die on your watch.
