does sound a lot like Terri Schiavo’s parents, doesn’t it?
Terri seemed to have much more awareness than this patient
Lucky for this guy he doesn’t have a spouse who finds his life inconvenient
Yes, like Terri’s parents and probably thousands of other loved ones who were sure of the same thing, but their doctors wouldn’t believe them. It’s horribly sad. Worse than being in this kind of state is being there without anyone believing you are “in there.” What a horrible isolated and abandoned feeling that must be.
It’s high time doctors realized that there are clues to be found “just” by simple (albeit time-consuming) observation, that all their high tech equipment will never find. No, doctors don’t have time to do that, but loved ones do, and if only docs would see them as valuable assets rather than ignorant bystanders!
