PVS is nothing more than an excuse used by the culture of death to murder their victims.

Yup, just another tool used by the death cult that is the modern left...

“The head of trauma thanks me and in a very jovial manner says, ‘In my day, the term for these patients was jellyfish.’ And he laughs and moves on,” he said. “What do you do with that?”

It's horrifying that a medical professional would express such a callous disregard for human beings.

Several studies, one as late as 2009, have found that as many as 41 percent of PVS patients had some level of awareness, and the evidence keeps building.

I think people are going to be unpleasantly surprised to find out just high the awareness really is.

They make this sound like “new” news.. I was taught in college that we should talk to “comatose” or brain injured people ..keep orienting them ..discuss things when in the room and tell family to watch what they say in the hearing of the patient because we do not know the true level of awareness.. poor terri they hung crape all over her within her hearing

PVS is long been shown to be overdiagnosed in at least 30 percent of cases, and some of the others probably are overdiagnosed.

I worked with the profoundly retarded, and lots of them looked “PVS” and were called vegetables by medical people when they were sick...but when they were well, they would respond to certain staff with smiles etc.

There was one very low functioning boy who was blind and we thought he might fit that diagnosis, but then one day I heard lovely singing, and when I went in, he was having a bath...and the staff said he sang (no words just melody) when he was bathed.

Lots of time fatigue, drugs (such as drugs for seizures) or illness can lower their ability to be alert.

thanks for the post. I am chagrined to find that I am
out of practice in reply to this. “PVS” was flawed from
the start.

If we really are allowed to euthanize people because they’re severely brain-damaged, we could wipe out the Left in our lifetime.
