- This video created by Skye Nimmo will help you: (1) Have a better understanding of advance directives and consider how you may feel about medical options given different diagnoses, (2) Be able to describe clinical death, whole brain death, and persistent vegetative state, and (3) Determine the differences in these physiological states and how they are diagnosed.

About a year ago, I was (reportedly / apparently) painting the back of my house, and seem to have fallen off a ladder, onto my back concrete patio, for an unknown reason, sustaining a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), w/ closed skull fractures, ribs and shoulder blade broken, resulting in brain bleeding and a punctured lung. They made a small incision under my arm, - the only scar from the accident, to drain the blood from my chest, to re-inflate 1 of my lungs. My family flew in and was there every day! I got sepsis and pneumonia, but w/ drugs got through those. I was brought out of the drug induced coma on about the 7th day or so. My first memory, is waking up, looking at my hands - which were wrapped w/ cotton so I couldn't pull the tubes out of my throat - which kept me from asking questions. Very frustrating when you CAN THINK (some), but can't communicate. I have the video of this - my sister trying to explain to me that I had a ladder fall, reassuring me it would be OK, and I mustn't pull the tubes out. I don't remember hearing or seeing her - I was focused on my hands, and felt fine, but confused. It's as if I'm in a medical state that made me self-aware, but "selfish" in that nothing outside of me was there. And each day for the next 5 or so, unbeknownst to me, I'd occasionally try to get out of bed, setting off the alarms, forgetting I was supposed to push a Call button if I needed anything. I felt fine, except for sore ribs, and was ready to drive home. After that, I was transferred to a Rehabilitation Hospital, which is where most of my memory begins. I had trouble just standing, so like a baby, had to re-learn how to balance, then walk, then the repetitive tests to gauge my brain injury - which I recovered from about 99%. Only deficiency is slight double vision, correctable w/ glasses. 1 year later, I'm living alone, driving a car, and happy to be alive. I have no memory while in a coma, or the first few days "awake".
Wow! You are very lucky :)
Wow, you were lucky.
Great information👍
Good friend of mine is in a coma since February 23rd .. car accident.. I look these up to feel more educated since I can't be there for him because of dumb COVID
really nice made and helpful. Greetings from Germany :)
Brain death is a scam to get your loved ones to turn you over for organ harvesting.
They don’t even anesthetize the poor patient and only administer a paralytic agent to keep you from been able to squirm or move once they cut you open !
Many nurses complain because they see the patients blood pressure and heartbeat rise !
This is because they can fell every single cut while their organs are been removed, it’s absolutely BARBARIC!
You have to be alive and breathing in order to get viable organs.....the insanity of these doctors to push for organ donations is unethical and should be criminal !
I guarantee you , most of these “ organ donors “ knew what was happening to them and couldn’t fight back.
Imagine the pain, agony and horror they endured ......it’s disgusting !
@@DucatiQueen they are literally dead in the brain, there is nothing left. they won’t survive for long squirming and high blood pressure is a natural human response, they are still dead.
If there is little brain activity do they dream ? My buddy he has the sleep wake cycles but little brain activity can he dream what would his personal experience be locked away so to speak in his own body I've read and listened to pod casts on people in comas waking up with crazy experiences but idk if they had little brain activity while in the coma
Dad can you hear for sure
Right off I’m going to have problems trusting a medical expert using the word “diagnosises”.
😂 science and medical information took over grammar.
Ikr!! Lmao
neice in vegetative state after car accident
I’m so sorry. My dad is in a vegetative state after he had a heart attack on Feb 15, 2022. It’s a tragedy that leaves a mark on that person and the people that love them. There truly are no words
