Boston medical resident Susan Wheeler becomes suspicious when her friend is left in an irreversible coma after a routine procedure. Once she notices an unnatural amount of comas occurring in her hospital, she uncovers a horrible conspiracy.
Coma wastes a superb performance by Bujold on a simplistic, predictable series of cliched suspense scenes, seasoned with some last-minute moralizing about contemporary medicine.
The boys'-club politics at the hospital provide the picture with interesting subtext right in line with the sexual dynamics of the period; Bujold proves to be a worthy champion for the feminist cause.
The aftereffect of Coma is a catlike yawn, benign and bored.
