Im fascinated by this. He says there must be some sort of brain lesion present to show damage. That someone who overdoses and needs a ventilator, but an MRI shows the brain to be unremarkable , is not brain dead. He says that person should be in ICU somewhere. But, THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. People are told their loved one is brain dead without so much as an exray. They are doing these tests for brain death while people are under propofol sedation! Obviously the criteria are being ignored!
Do you have any source for your claim? I'd be interested. In any case, you have to differentiate strictly between a diagnosis of 'clinical death' and 'brain death'. These two do get mixed up all the time in popular media and even by rookie doctors. Clinical death is pretty acurate, but definitely not 100%. This is the type of death declaration which people can survive if the clinician was mistaken in his diagnosis. As a sidenote, this type of diagnosis is not used for purpose of organ transplant. Brain death on the other hand is probably the most accurate diagnosis you can ever hope to gain. There is no reported case up to date which was actually diagnosed brain dead and did not die without improvement. There are studies with up to 2000 participants declared brain dead, from which not one recovered in any way.
