How To Assess The Brain Capacity Of A Person Who Is Rescued From Committing Suicide?
My brother in law tried to commit suicide. He was found barely breathing and unconscious. He does not wish to live in a vegetative state. What questions do we need to ask the doctors to find this out? I am a veterinarian, so I know we in medicine are taught to speak in broad terms. What statistics do I need to ask about in order to accurately tell if he will have enough brain capacity left to live a normal life?
