Can Brain Dead Patients Come Back To Consciousness?
my son had a bad car accident 7 months ago. His doctor said that his is brain dead and will never recover. i think she is only a regular doctor in a rehabilitation center. i want to get a second opinion but he has only medicaid insurance. i visit him every single day, massage his legs , arms and fingers the best i know how. But nothing seems to work . What do you suggest, any medicine?

Hi,
I am extremely sorry to hear of this sad incidence. Unfortunately once brain is dead it's extremely unlikely to start again.
Yes very few cases have been reported in literature where people have been come back from vegetative state. But that is very rare.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
