What is it with you and bizarrely coloured foodstuffs? ;-)
Will e-mail you when I've collected my first batch of questions. The main question's really: Got any experience with patients in a persistent vegetative state?
I basically need to know what a typical day would look like in the 'waking-up phase' of one such making an unlikely recovery. I.e. typical nursing routines, types and frequency of therapy (once he's properly awake... well, actually, he'd probably be transferred to a specialised rehab facility pretty soon for that, wouldn't he?) etc. Loads of little details. Also, would there be a prognosis at some point or would they adopt more of a 'wait and see' approach due to the unpredictability of brain injury recovery?
So many questions... these are really just the tip of the iceberg.
Not sure how many of those questions you can answer; it really all depends on the first, doesn't it?
