My father was in a coma for 7 weeks. One week after the heart attack and doctors alredy wanted to unplug the machine. i said no. He woke up after 7 weeks. If i had said yeas he probably would no be here right now. its been 6 years and he is still here.
My baby sister was braindead earlier this year, one day she was fine and the next day I came home from school and got a call that my sister was braindead in that evening my mom pulled the plug, we didn't even got to send the birthcarts, One day I had a sister and the next I didn't. Rest in Peace sissy she got to be 5 weeks old💜😢
@@Pensive_117 I don't exactly know how, but she was born with a malformation inside her body, it had caused multiple brainbleeds. We unfortunatly did not know about her condition until it was too late, but even if we knew there was nothing we could have done, her condition was a ticking timebomb... at least she had a normal life for the 5 weeks she was alive💜
my brother got into a bad car accident & the doctors said he became brain dead. I never understood why they couldn't just keep him alive with the machines, but now I do. thanks dnews.
Jennifer G I'm so sorry. My friend in band was in a car accident where they called him brain dead. But he came back I saw him today and I love him. I was happy he was back I'm sorry for your death.😭😭
My grandpa was pronounced brain dead on Friday.. today they disconnected him from life support. They said he can go another few hours or a couple days on his own before he passes.. remember your loved ones and don’t let grudges hold you back. This video helps get some closure, thank you!
If he wasn't suffering cause hes "brain dead" why pull the plug? Miracles have happened & future treatment options are unknown. If I'm every brain dead they better not pull the plug ever. Put me in a test tube so its cheaper to keep me alive, I really don't care if I look like I came out a matrix pod, no one better be pulling that plug.
my cousin died this way. her blood sugar was so high (550) which caused something called hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS).if untreated immediately it starts damaging everything in the body... and because she was misdiagnosed at first, it was too late... the brain was already damaged. she was on life support for two weeks n then she passed away .. she was my age 21 she was my best friend
I was in a coma for two days in 2002. I'm very lucky to not have suffered any lasting damage to my brain or organs and I am so grateful that was the case. After coming across this video I have decided to express my gratitude for this daily. I have a lot I should be more grateful for.
I understand you thoroughly. I was in a Coma for 3 weeks after my heart stopped for ... 63 minutes ! - Even the hospital don't understand fully and the fact that my brain has recuperated after such a lack of oxygen is a miracle. I had to learn how to walk talk and write. Very frustrating, and i'll never be 100%. But We are so lucky. Cherish every day you live.
My siblings and I, sadly, had gotten to learn the distinction between a vegetative state, comatose and brain death in the one-week that followed my mom's cardiac arrest at the hospital. Considering it's only been eight months ago, I was actually surprised at how I was able to sit through this video without feeling all emotional.
My grandmother has been in a coma for four years now. She fell into cardiac arrest and when paramedics arrived, it was too late (if blood flow is disrupted to your brain for even minutes, it can cause severe drain damage). Over the course of years, she was passed around from hospital to hospital until she ended up having her life support set up at her house. My grandfather now takes care of her along with my uncle on occasion. P.S: This isn’t intended as likebait. I just wanted to comment my story for anyone interested or can relate to it.
My grandmother died of cardiac arrest. When my Aunt and Uncle found her, she was warm but started to get cold. Even if they could, she probably would have turn out the same as your grandmother, on life support. There but nobody upstairs type of thing.
I can relate just lost someone close. 1 week and a day before my birthday and I was so excited for ec0veryone to be eating and celebrating. What hurts the most is not that he passed away really, but how scared he must have been. A great person with a big ❤. Thankyou for sharing. Its tough
My mother just passed away over the holidays. She went into the hospital for a broken hip. When the checked her breathing it was very low due to cigarett smoking. They put her into a coma and hooked her up to a breathing machine. They could do nothing for her broken hip due to her inability to breath on her own. She was in the hospital a couple of weeks. They told me she was brain dead and wanted to turn the breathing machine off. I was not there due to the distance i lived away fom her but my aunt and cousin was with her when she passed. They tell me she was gasping for air and said it was normal. From what i understand in this video if she was brain dead she would not have been gasping. That is very disturbing to me..
Thats what i believe too. How does a person go into the hospital with a broken hip and dead 2 weeks later? They said her oxygen level was low and put her ona ventilator. That i believe was true. Suddenly uncapable of breathing on her own? It was her 2nd time around with that. The hospital claimed they tested her and said there was no brain activity.
Big June mind your own business. I will say what ever i like when ever i like and it's nothing for you to critize me about. It's my right. So go away with your negitivity.
The breathing could be due to part of the brain stem still kicking, but that would not allow a human being to be a human being. Brain stems keep the human life support going, such as allowing a 'vegetable' to breathe. The brain test used to determine brain death knows how to read the brain, knowing what parts function and what does not. As for going from broken hip to brain death, many things can cause it. People catch infections such as MRSA staph infections and pneumonia. Your mother could also have had something that did not immediately show itself until after hospitalization.
The father of my grandson had a seizure and went into a coma. Later he was pronounced brain dead... They sent him to hospital in our capital city to harvest his organs for donations. As they took him off life support to harvest organs he came to and is alive and recovering well. It's been over 2 months since he woke up. They are filing a lawsuit
my husband has had a very bad stroke. He Is only 39 years old. The doctor said he is brain dead. I’m coming to you to ask if you can pray for him? Can you ask others to pray for him? We are asking God for a miracle. We need all the prayers we can get right now. His name is Jose Aguilera. Please pray. Thank you.
My son he is vegetative State 7 year 40 years he have trach the E n t doctor don't want to help him not even try if he can breathe on his own he is in the nursing home how can l get him the help he is at medilaga of starlight hight do l need to get a leg attorney
A close family member was pronounced brain dead last year, I got to see her a couple of times while she was still in her bed in the intensive care unit, but before being allowed to see her, the doctor did tell us that she was already dead. It was very painful and sad.
I was in a coma for 3 weeks after our convoy fell into a 30 foot deep river, 1 died and 4 of us managed to survive AND my captain we were the only ones who got hurt i was 3 weeks in a coma the first 17 days i never had dreams the next 4 days i had dreams in those dreams everything made sense it was like i was really living a real life when i woke up i thought i was at home i didnt remember the 2 months i was in afghanistan I only remember the 2 months before the accident thank God that were no damages ony brain 6 months after the accident i was back the way I was before that accident I stay 3 more years in the military
i can’t hide in denial anymore. someone I know is pretty much dead and i don’t know how to feel about that. she left a son behind. people can leave so suddenly. it’s crazy and it fucks me up.
The love of my life decided to end his own life, but was in hospital for 5,5 days being brain dead. I've always had an unconcious grudge against his parents for not keeping him on life support longer to wait for a miracle. It kinda gives me closure knowing this. So thanks. :)
In 2008 a woman named Val Thomas (not sure about the last name) was declared brain dead but she started talking to nurses when they came to unhook her life support.
My brother has been in a vegetative state for 4 days now and today they are running test on him to declare him brain dead 😢 once that’s done he will continue living by donating his organs that are eligible to those who are in need. Cherish your loved ones!
My dad had a massive stroke and was declared brain dead last morning. Judging by the size of the bleed he may have even been dead on Mother's day, when he had the stroke. These videos help me to understand. This is such a difficult time. God, I love him so much.
My mother as just pronounced brain dead this morning and haven’t been able to cope. I associated this term with a coma and didn’t understand why we can’t wait for her to awaken, but now I understand. Thank you.
Actually a person in a coma CAN be aware, at least partially. There have been several people who have come out of coma, even after years, and report know who talked to them, and even what they said.
@@melaninduh7962 the love of my life is currently in a coma and this is my greatest fear…. I feel that he is still in there and I want to give him a fighting chance.
I was reading one article looking at the maximum amount of time that auditory processing could take place after sudden cardiac arrest. 7-8 minutes. Pretty horrific. The ability to see, move or do anything is just a few seconds. This kind of makes sense because (Pertinent info I'm a paramedic) the number of unresponsive people who remember sirens is crazy. Anyway the scary thing is. Imagine you are terminally ill in hospital, you go into cardiac arrest and cannot be revived. You are probably going to hear people give up and declare you dead before that auditory processing shuts down.
one of my relatives is said Brain dead by the doctors, we are not sure how long to keep her on the ventilation expecting regaining her consciousness back, she's been on ventilator for 3 days now. Update: She's declared dead & we buried the body also
I knew a dog that was pronounced brain dead, then the vets left the room to tell the dogs foster. A couple minutes later they walked back in and the dog was lifting her head up and looking around. She was too small for the transplant she needed and I don't know if she survived. I met her an heard her story and wanted to tell the story of the little miracle pup. She was the sweetest little thing.
Harley Quinn Decapitated people aren't dead for that reason, they still have to suffocate since it only severed the brain from its life support. If the brain dies, you die, everything else in your past body can still live normally for only a certain amount of time.
Issa You are absolutely right. My sister had a friend that was in the hospital sick for a while and then passed away. The doctors said that he was dead and nothing could be done. Well, when it was time to bury him he woke up in the morgue. True story. This happened when I was a kid 11 or 12 age and I will never forget it. It let's me know that doctors still screw up. Sometime you will still hear stories of people waking up in the morgue in 2018.
All I'm going to say is that if I were to go be brain dead, I have only one wish: to be surrounded by my loved ones to say their goodbyes and have them pull the plug. I feel that it's not fair to have them suffer emotionally, psychologically, and not to mention financially, especially if there is little to zero chance that I'll recover. The better option would be to just let my body die so I can be free. To quote Panic! At the Disco, "If you love me, let me go".
My brother was in a coma for 3 years..but here's how he got into it. So ik no one will read this. My family and I went to a birthday party in some kind of woods. There were a lot playgrounds in the area, and my parents took us so we can play in them.I had 6 siblings, so it was hard strangling all of them in one park and looking after all of them. My brother, he was about 6 or 7 at the time.I was about 4? And we were playing, of coarse. We Don't know completely what caused him to get sick. If he was playing and touched his eyes, mouth, or nose.But after the party and we all went home, he starting throwing up. My mom thought he ate too much or ran around right after he ate, so she just thought to give him medicine and the next he would be fine. But he wasn't fine.Over about a week, he was constantly vomiting and just really sick. My mom took him to the doctor, and she said it can be a stomach flu, so she gave him medication. But the 2nd most worst day of my life happened. So my sisters and I were just playing around. And we heard him vomiting, as usual :( Then we hear my mom panicking, and screamjng for help. We walk into the room she was in and we saw his eyes rolled back to his head, him shaking really hard, and white stuff coming out his mouth. I was obvious it was a seizure, but I was 4 so I didnt know. My mom said call for my dad, and my dad came upstairs. He sae him and picked him up. He took him to the hospital. So my sisters, the oldest was about 10 to 12. She said something really bad happened.But she tried to call me down and say he's just sick, so I wouldn't worry. But later I start worrying, becaus my mom wasn't coming home and it was already 8 . So I went to sleep. But now that I'm ten, I understand everything that happened. My mom stayed overnight at the hospital with him, and my dad came home to stay with us. He was in the hospital for a couple days. But...he went into a coma. I was 4, so my mom said he was sleeping for a long time. I said " when is he coming home?"They said,in a couple of weeks. But it wasn't a couple of weeks. He was passed to e hospital in 3 years. One year in each hospital. But on June 21st, 2015, the absolute worst day of my life..at 7:00 pm...he died. My mom and dad were at the store, and the hospital called. They said he wasn't looking so well. They asked my parents to come imidiently, sorry for the spelling. So my parents, scared, rushed to the hospital. It was 45 minutes away, probably an hour with traffic. But it was too late. They tried to revive him...but he was already out. And he was...dead 😔The next morning, at this time I was 7 and in 2nd grade. My parents woke me up with the worst news ever. He sajd he was dead.I cry and cry.I didn't go to school because I was just miserable.And that's my story,I'm ten and talk to him everyday. Sometimes, he leaves messages. Once I saw one of his stuffed animals move.I wasmt frightened at all. I was glad. He heard me. 💖
Hana, I’m glad you talk to your brother. I recently experienced a catastrophic cardiac arrest. I was clinically dead for close to an hour. For several days afterwards I was placed on life support but was officially brain dead. My fiancé and daughter held my hand and talked to me every day praying for me to come back to life. I am alive now. God bless.
One of my best friends drowned and got pulled out of the water too late. In hospital he was on life support and had spasms. We assumed we could slowly help him revive, even if it costs us years and years! But the doctor told us he was technically braindead and there was no hope. Then they pulled the plug and it was done! A week later I saw him pale and doll-like in a coffin.... Dead... It is a traumatic experience that I have to deal with for the rest of my life! I still can't believe it actually, it went by so fast... :(
I have a friend who suffered a bad dirt bike accident and was in a coma for 8 months with severe brain damage he managed to wake up after the 8 months and he’s now actually going through therapy and hopefully can recover as much as he can but I know he will never be 100% again but I have faith in him
My loved one expired by brain dead...met with an bike accident without helmet...he fight for 3 days in icu at 4th day doctor gave zero hope...teir family decided to donate organs for needy... finally we lost him in 5th day...sorry for my english hope you all understand my emotion...pls wear helmets always...

People in comas have measurable change sin their vital signs when they hear loved ones voices. Heart rate changes, BP changes, breathing patterns speed up. Even I. Thats state qe love.
I was in a coma for 12 hours. The Doctors say, there was no brain damage BUT they didn't do any test after I came out of the coma. How is this possible & how do they know without doing any test ? Also, I have bipolar 1 disorder so I haven't been mentally well for a very long time. How do they know this is not from being in the coma.....or do they really NOT know?????
Sounds like you could have suffered a TBI. Some patients seem to recover, but then later develop mental illness. Your coma and BPD could certainly be related.
I have performed countless brain death studies. Its a very specific protocol and considers all things from vital signs, medications involved, movements, and surrounding equipment. Often times family members are in disbelief and continue to keep their family member on life support for weeks and even months. In fairness they just need more time to process the loss but most people have zero trust in medicine. So they refuse to believe bad news.
Thanks Trace! I've been following DNews for quite some time now and I really appreciate your work and content. Always interesting topics and helping to get a little inside of them.
my sister died in brain death she was having eye surgery in a surery they didnt see her oxygen is not working afer one week she died . rest in heaven my beautiful sis.
when someone is declared brain-dead, and they have to remove the life support from the brain-dead person, do they simply disconnect you and allow you to "die" from oxygen deprivation to the brain, or is there a general humane way to do it? what's the procedure?
Have you ever done a video on Brain Hemorrhages? I am curious on how they can be caused, can they develop over time and how long can you survive with one?
My mother passed away several years ago they said half of her brain was dead so they said she would not wake up if she did she would be a vegetable so they stopped her ventilator. If half your brain is dead can you still live a normal life or close to it
Kevin Harris My dad is brain dead right now and please pray for me.And also I think if you survived the brain dead you prolly be normal or have a difficultys.
* patient wakes from coma ....5 more minutes!!! * Very unfortunate technicalities and so much pain for the families that watch over them. Blessings and strength to those having to go through this
My friend she was 9 she was rushed to the er but it was too late the nurse came in and gave us the bad news, she was brain dead. Her mom did not want her to suffer so she turnt off life support, Rip Gabby 2002-2017. I CRY EVERYTIME I THINK OF HER!
Are we just conscious thoughts? If your brain gets corrupted, say damaged, and delete your memory, will that person (human body) still be you? If I'm correct, we are no different than AI. Organic Intelligence. So, by the same token, we could transfer our thoughts to another entity, such as a robot, and live as AI. The issue is that the body and brain that nurtured those thoughts (the original you) will no longer be there to keep them growing or changing them. Your thoughts would be frozen in time.. forever..
SuperMan It's all thought provoking however the answer is simply that everything is just a illusion. Technically, we are different people every Planck unit of time. If we were to teleport (dying then reincarnating at another location technically), we would be the same person, and although this seems different from just existing normally, it is actually physically the same. If our memories and cognitive abilities were transferred to a robot, it would think it were you, and by the definition of "you", it is. But at the same time it's not! So basically, what is consciousness? An illusion.
SuperMan And yes without our conscious thoughts, we aren't us. Also the AI we'd be transferred to would most likely have the capabilities of a learning human brain (because it wouldn't really be US otherwise due to the difference in existence without the ability to change).
I mean, so many things can change your personality, you can also suffer from memory loss, etc too. Trust me, I've had a psychotic break before. I was still there but I wasn't in control of me or my body. The person that made me wasn't. It's like someone else took control of me. I still am mentally ill but I haven't had one in awhile.
i can concur a coma is like an intense nap! i was in a medically induced coma for a Month after a stroke, when i woke up i was told i was out for a Month! just felt like a 5min nap!
What I find really amazing is when the doctors declare someone brain dead and they actually remove all life support but the person doesn't die so I guess there really wouldn't brain-dead where they and actually wake up what do you call that you didn't mention that state did you.
I would think it depends on what you mean by "dead". Your body doesn't always die all at once. Remember you are a SYSTEM of living things. When you die these systems start failing (dying), but these failures don't always take place at the same time.
One of my bros just died on July 4th, he was at a household firework party and there were too many fireworks together causing a huge explosion and the fireworks started shooting everywhere. My friend aswell as 6 others were forced to take cover and jump into a pond, unfortunately my friend jumped in an landed on a huge rock knocking him unconscious and making him fall into a comma. The doctors said he was brain dead 5 hours later and pulled the cord 😭
The doctors have called my father brain dead, vegetative state, and coma due to lack of oxygen to the brain. Basically caused by a strangulation. He has has been on a breathing machine for 3 years now. When I go see him i talk to him and sometimes tears run down his face and he squeezes my hand with a few fingers... he feels pain and they say that he can hear me. I was just told today that there is a netting planned to consider giving him morphine and taking him off of the ventilator. I don’t know how I feel about it. I’ve been told it’s cruel to keep him in this condition which I understand that it isn’t a great life for him at this point but at the same time I believe that he is a fighter and I have seen very very slow progress. The fact that it hasn’t gotten worse and his brain isn’t dying out more and more means a lot to me.
Well hes corfimend dead and tonight there gunna unplug the machine. And yeah he did get attack. If he got stabbed somewhere else he would've survived🤧😰😭😫
Question: How long can a "brain dead" person live, its body, that is? If the brain is dead, then does it actually start to disintegrate over time, like other dead body parts would (frostbite)?
If i understand him correctly, roughly 1 week. As long as the brain stem is functioning that is. If not, death is immediate, with the immune system being the thing that lasts longest. 12 to 24 hours as far as i know. Someone might pick up my comment and go in to more accurate detail on it.
If a person who is “brain dead” moves there arms, legs and even opens there eyes responds to people talking, and could even squeeze a hand be really brain dead? He even choked on the tubes when he was I guess “coming too”. Thank you for your help, please respond whenever you get this. They’re telling us to think about dnr but I don’t think he’s really gone.
Explain to me why doctor's would deprive their patients oxygen to determine brain death? Wouldn't that kind of secure the death of the brain? Just asking. Makes zero sense to me, but I'm no doctor. I love and miss you Dad and hope I made the correct decision by listening to doctors.
Because the body at its most basic function knows to breathe..... Its testing to see if any part of the Brain stem, which regulates basic body function, is doing anything
You simply do not know what you are talking about with comas. I know people that were in comas and were aware of what was happening around them They just couldn't respond..Also there are many stories of people recovering from so called brain death. One just happened recently and was on the news...
You cannot recover from being brain dead. When you're brain dead you have no activity in your brain and your body is only able to be kept alive with machines, so you're wrong.
Roy Jones Aware? No they are not. Their senses still work, and they can dream about their surroundings based on the received sensory input. That doesn't mean that they know what is happening at all.
BigBlueRed 26 My good friend was in a coma and diagnosed as technically dead and she clearly remembers the nurses and what they were doing to her. They saw her hand moving so they put a pen in it and put paper underneath and she wrote about what was going on in the room at that time. Eventually she fully regained consciousness and has thrived ever since. The doctors have no explanation as to how she survived and with no brain damage whatsoever. They said it was a miracle.
Been through this with my sister its so hard to go through.. I didn't want to be there when they turned the machines off.. They did try everything they could for 10 days unfortunately she was never going to be able to wake from the coma
My friend died this way. She had an allergic shock. Ate a cake of nut and got into a hospital. Fallen into coma.. parents thought she couldn't make it so they thought they'll stop the machines a day after... but than she got brain dead. Nearly a year since she died. 9th of May 2017 🕇 Rest in peace! I will never forget our beautiful time Paula! ❤
My father has been brain dead for the past 10 years in a nursing home, brain stem is dead but his eyes move, he can breath on his own has a feeding tube but cannot communicate at all not even in blinking. It's very strange. No life support obviously either, it's that polish blood, won't give up too easy
My friend just accidently OD on xanax and hes been at the hospital for 4 days now. And he is brain dead. This makes so much since now this is awful knowing hes actually going to be gone. And the doctors are suggesting his parents to donate his organs for those who need. Hes so young to go💔
yea this actually helped me understand what brain dead is. my dad had an accident with a gun and was in a coma for a few days before being pronounced brain dead and my mom said ok to "pulling the plug" I was so mad at her for like a whole year and I didn't know why she did just let him come back from it
If you can read this it's time for you to wake up. You've been in a coma for 20 years and have created an artificial reality to live in. Also we need you awake to file your tax return. It's severely overdue and I kinda crashed your car.
My brother is in a coma for a month now due to heart attack. His heart stopped beating. The ambulance got there late and he was without oxigen for a long time. With difficulty they started his heart, but he is in a coma for a month now. Dr. say he was 92% brain dead which I do not believe as they refuse to do a second MRI or EEG. He sleeps mostly, yawns, and makes some noises, sighing and others. At the sound of our voices (imediate family, wife, sisters, brothers) he occassionally opens his eyes wide open when whe speak with him, or when he is shaved. He also flexess his muscles and pushes arms and legs sometimes. What is his prognosis? What chances does he have? I really need a specialist to weigh-in. Thank you.
This happened to my god brother he accidentally drowned thought he would make it I still had hope after the doctors said he was brain dead sadly they took him off life support just 3 days later.💔
Is it true the brain it's self doesn't actually feel pain and if that's true then why would they keep a hospital room soo cold" to help stimulate the brain if possible while someone is on ventilator in a medically induced coma being monitored, eyes kept open and smothered with Vaseline type lubercante so their eyes don't dry out and if eyes can dry out and covered in lube, would your eyes water at all? In beginning? hours later? Both eyes? just one eye? Neither one?
Marianne Simani Yup always believe in Christ and miracles do happen and my dad is brain dead too and always pray and pray because praying is the most powerful thing that no one can stop and god is listening to your prayers and don't lose hope.
My father was in a coma for 7 weeks. One week after the heart attack and doctors alredy wanted to unplug the machine. i said no. He woke up after 7 weeks. If i had said yeas he probably would no be here right now. its been 6 years and he is still here.
erick valenzuela am happy for him
I am happy for you
Im so happy for you!
You're a good person!
And how is his life now.
Probably not
My baby sister was braindead earlier this year, one day she was fine and the next day I came home from school and got a call that my sister was braindead in that evening my mom pulled the plug, we didn't even got to send the birthcarts, One day I had a sister and the next I didn't. Rest in Peace sissy she got to be 5 weeks old💜😢
I'm sorry for you loss. Do you mind telling me why she became braindead?
@@Pensive_117 I don't exactly know how, but she was born with a malformation inside her body, it had caused multiple brainbleeds.

Sorry for your loss but do not be afraid of death 🌙
+Adam I was only in 7th grade, & I was really unemotional when it happened. I didn't talk, cry, or react to anything.
I'm so sorry, I'm glad this video made things a little clearer for you
Jennifer G I'm so sorry. My friend in band was in a car accident where they called him brain dead. But he came back I saw him today and I love him. I was happy he was back I'm sorry for your death.😭😭
Jennifer G people react differently in situations of pain. some people cry, get angry and numb their emotions.
My grandpa was pronounced brain dead on Friday.. today they disconnected him from life support. They said he can go another few hours or a couple days on his own before he passes.. remember your loved ones and don’t let grudges hold you back. This video helps get some closure, thank you!
And take as many pictures and videos you can while you're with them.

We just had too this last week. Too mom may our father be with you in your love one's
If he wasn't suffering cause hes "brain dead" why pull the plug? Miracles have happened & future treatment options are unknown. If I'm every brain dead they better not pull the plug ever. Put me in a test tube so its cheaper to keep me alive, I really don't care if I look like I came out a matrix pod, no one better be pulling that plug.
my cousin died this way.
her blood sugar was so high (550) which caused something called hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS).if untreated immediately it starts damaging everything in the body... and because she was misdiagnosed at first, it was too late... the brain was already damaged.
she was on life support for two weeks n then she passed away .. she was my age 21
she was my best friend

One of my best friend was in coma for more 8 days and now his brain is dead he was a careless driver. Take care of your driving.
My best friend died today aswell in a car accident. He is currently brain dead in the hospital, but they will let him go soon..

I was in a coma for two days in 2002. I'm very lucky to not have suffered any lasting damage to my brain or organs and I am so grateful that was the case. After coming across this video I have decided to express my gratitude for this daily. I have a lot I should be more grateful for.
I understand you thoroughly. I was in a Coma for 3 weeks after my heart stopped for ... 63 minutes ! - Even the hospital don't understand fully and the fact that my brain has recuperated after such a lack of oxygen is a miracle. I had to learn how to walk talk and write. Very frustrating, and i'll never be 100%. But We are so lucky.
Cherish every day you live.
My siblings and I, sadly, had gotten to learn the distinction between a vegetative state, comatose and brain death in the one-week that followed my mom's cardiac arrest at the hospital. Considering it's only been eight months ago, I was actually surprised at how I was able to sit through this video without feeling all emotional.
I know what a coma is already but what's difference between the other two?
I feel for you.. I just lost my Dad this way today.. 💔
My grandmother has been in a coma for four years now. She fell into cardiac arrest and when paramedics arrived, it was too late (if blood flow is disrupted to your brain for even minutes, it can cause severe drain damage). Over the course of years, she was passed around from hospital to hospital until she ended up having her life support set up at her house. My grandfather now takes care of her along with my uncle on occasion.
P.S: This isn’t intended as likebait. I just wanted to comment my story for anyone interested or can relate to it.
Update?? How is she now?
My grandmother died of cardiac arrest. When my Aunt and Uncle found her, she was warm but started to get cold. Even if they could, she probably would have turn out the same as your grandmother, on life support. There but nobody upstairs type of thing.
I can relate just lost someone close. 1 week and a day before my birthday and I was so excited for ec0veryone to be eating and celebrating. What hurts the most is not that he passed away really, but how scared he must have been. A great person with a big ❤. Thankyou for sharing. Its tough
How is she now
mind giving us an update
"Thanks brain" You are your brain, you and your brain are not separate entities. So you basically saying "Thanks me"

My mother just passed away over the holidays. She went into the hospital for a broken hip. When the checked her breathing it was very low due to cigarett smoking. They put her into a coma and hooked her up to a breathing machine. They could do nothing for her broken hip due to her inability to breath on her own. She was in the hospital a couple of weeks. They told me she was brain dead and wanted to turn the breathing machine off. I was not there due to the distance i lived away fom her but my aunt and cousin was with her when she passed. They tell me she was gasping for air and said it was normal. From what i understand in this video if she was brain dead she would not have been gasping. That is very disturbing to me..
Thats what i believe too. How does a person go into the hospital with a broken hip and dead 2 weeks later? They said her oxygen level was low and put her ona ventilator. That i believe was true. Suddenly uncapable of breathing on her own? It was her 2nd time around with that. The hospital claimed they tested her and said there was no brain activity.
Big June mind your own business. I will say what ever i like when ever i like and it's nothing for you to critize me about. It's my right. So go away with your negitivity.
jdyrj777 file a goddamn lawsuit man, prevent it from happening to other people.

The breathing could be due to part of the brain stem still kicking, but that would not allow a human being to be a human being. Brain stems keep the human life support going, such as allowing a 'vegetable' to breathe. The brain test used to determine brain death knows how to read the brain, knowing what parts function and what does not. As for going from broken hip to brain death, many things can cause it. People catch infections such as MRSA staph infections and pneumonia. Your mother could also have had something that did not immediately show itself until after hospitalization.
If i'm in a vegetative state, please steam me.
Yumm! Steamed veggies!

The father of my grandson had a seizure and went into a coma. Later he was pronounced brain dead... They sent him to hospital in our capital city to harvest his organs for donations. As they took him off life support to harvest organs he came to and is alive and recovering well. It's been over 2 months since he woke up. They are filing a lawsuit
Many times doctors don't check if they are.
Oh wow, amazing!
Either extreme negligence by the team or bullshit.

My dad died after a motorcycle incident. His head hit a concrete block his heart worked but he was braindead he was my best friends I miss him♥️♥️💯
Sorry for your loss ❤️
The same thing I have faced with my father case
my husband has had a very bad stroke. He Is only 39 years old. The doctor said he is brain dead. I’m coming to you to ask if you can pray for him? Can you ask others to pray for him? We are asking God for a miracle. We need all the prayers we can get right now. His name is Jose Aguilera. Please pray. Thank you.
Wow... is there an update on him? is he still in a coma?
Bless you.

A close family member was pronounced brain dead last year, I got to see her a couple of times while she was still in her bed in the intensive care unit, but before being allowed to see her, the doctor did tell us that she was already dead. It was very painful and sad.
I was in a coma for 3 weeks after our convoy fell into a 30 foot deep river, 1 died and 4 of us managed to survive AND my captain we were the only ones who got hurt
i was 3 weeks in a coma the first 17 days i never had dreams the next 4 days i had dreams in those dreams everything made sense it was like i was really living a real life when i woke up i thought i was at home i didnt remember the 2 months i was in afghanistan I only remember the 2 months before the accident thank God that were no damages ony brain 6 months after the accident i was back the way I was before that accident I stay 3 more years in the military
That is amazing. Glad you're ok.
i can’t hide in denial anymore. someone I know is pretty much dead and i don’t know how to feel about that. she left a son behind. people can leave so suddenly. it’s crazy and it fucks me up.
The love of my life decided to end his own life, but was in hospital for 5,5 days being brain dead. I've always had an unconcious grudge against his parents for not keeping him on life support longer to wait for a miracle. It kinda gives me closure knowing this. So thanks. :)
I mean, there have been miracles like that in the past.
In 2008 a woman named Val Thomas (not sure about the last name) was declared brain dead but she started talking to nurses when they came to unhook her life support.
Exactly why it should be illegal to "pull the plug".

The brainstem also plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function, consciousness, and the sleep cycle.

My dad had a massive stroke and was declared brain dead last morning. Judging by the size of the bleed he may have even been dead on Mother's day, when he had the stroke. These videos help me to understand. This is such a difficult time. God, I love him so much.
What ended up happening?
My mother as just pronounced brain dead this morning and haven’t been able to cope. I associated this term with a coma and didn’t understand why we can’t wait for her to awaken, but now I understand. Thank you.
Actually a person in a coma CAN be aware, at least partially. There have been several people who have come out of coma, even after years, and report know who talked to them, and even what they said.
I look at coma as the brain's "safe mode" in a sense.

I was reading one article looking at the maximum amount of time that auditory processing could take place after sudden cardiac arrest. 7-8 minutes. Pretty horrific. The ability to see, move or do anything is just a few seconds. This kind of makes sense because (Pertinent info I'm a paramedic) the number of unresponsive people who remember sirens is crazy. Anyway the scary thing is. Imagine you are terminally ill in hospital, you go into cardiac arrest and cannot be revived. You are probably going to hear people give up and declare you dead before that auditory processing shuts down.
Jack Quick Holy fucking shit!
yeah thats scary,
one of my relatives is said Brain dead by the doctors, we are not sure how long to keep her on the ventilation expecting regaining her consciousness back, she's been on ventilator for 3 days now.
Update: She's declared dead & we buried the body also
I knew a dog that was pronounced brain dead, then the vets left the room to tell the dogs foster. A couple minutes later they walked back in and the dog was lifting her head up and looking around. She was too small for the transplant she needed and I don't know if she survived. I met her an heard her story and wanted to tell the story of the little miracle pup.
She was the sweetest little thing.

Harley Quinn Decapitated people aren't dead for that reason, they still have to suffocate since it only severed the brain from its life support. If the brain dies, you die, everything else in your past body can still live normally for only a certain amount of time.
That’s not true at all. It’s way more complicated than that
Harley Quinn has
Issa You are absolutely right. My sister had a friend that was in the hospital sick for a while and then passed away. The doctors said that he was dead and nothing could be done. Well, when it was time to bury him he woke up in the morgue. True story. This happened when I was a kid 11 or 12 age and I will never forget it. It let's me know that doctors still screw up. Sometime you will still hear stories of people waking up in the morgue in 2018.
Who else is here after DMX was announced brain dead
Yes! Came here to understand what exactly the differences are. DMX is an icon...want him to miraculously pull through ♥️
All I'm going to say is that if I were to go be brain dead, I have only one wish: to be surrounded by my loved ones to say their goodbyes and have them pull the plug. I feel that it's not fair to have them suffer emotionally, psychologically, and not to mention financially, especially if there is little to zero chance that I'll recover. The better option would be to just let my body die so I can be free. To quote Panic! At the Disco, "If you love me, let me go".

My brother was in a coma for 3 years..but here's how he got into it. So ik no one will read this.
My family and I went to a birthday party in some kind of woods. There were a lot playgrounds in the area, and my parents took us so we can play in them.I had 6 siblings, so it was hard strangling all of them in one park and looking after all of them. My brother, he was about 6 or 7 at the time.I was about 4? And we were playing, of coarse. We Don't know completely what caused him to get sick. If he was playing and touched his eyes, mouth, or nose.But after the party and we all went home, he starting throwing up. My mom thought he ate too much or ran around right after he ate, so she just thought to give him medicine and the next he would be fine. But he wasn't fine.Over about a week, he was constantly vomiting and just really sick. My mom took him to the doctor, and she said it can be a stomach flu, so she gave him medication. But the 2nd most worst day of my life happened. So my sisters and I were just playing around. And we heard him vomiting, as usual :( Then we hear my mom panicking, and screamjng for help. We walk into the room she was in and we saw his eyes rolled back to his head, him shaking really hard, and white stuff coming out his mouth. I was obvious it was a seizure, but I was 4 so I didnt know. My mom said call for my dad, and my dad came upstairs. He sae him and picked him up. He took him to the hospital. So my sisters, the oldest was about 10 to 12. She said something really bad happened.But she tried to call me down and say he's just sick, so I wouldn't worry. But later I start worrying, becaus my mom wasn't coming home and it was already 8 . So I went to sleep. But now that I'm ten, I understand everything that happened. My mom stayed overnight at the hospital with him, and my dad came home to stay with us. He was in the hospital for a couple days. But...he went into a coma. I was 4, so my mom said he was sleeping for a long time. I said " when is he coming home?"They said,in a couple of weeks. But it wasn't a couple of weeks. He was passed to e hospital in 3 years. One year in each hospital. But on June 21st, 2015, the absolute worst day of my life..at 7:00 pm...he died. My mom and dad were at the store, and the hospital called. They said he wasn't looking so well. They asked my parents to come imidiently, sorry for the spelling. So my parents, scared, rushed to the hospital. It was 45 minutes away, probably an hour with traffic. But it was too late. They tried to revive him...but he was already out. And he was...dead 😔The next morning, at this time I was 7 and in 2nd grade. My parents woke me up with the worst news ever. He sajd he was dead.I cry and cry.I didn't go to school because I was just miserable.And that's my story,I'm ten and talk to him everyday. Sometimes, he leaves messages. Once I saw one of his stuffed animals move.I wasmt frightened at all. I was glad. He heard me. 💖
Hana, I’m glad you talk to your brother. I recently experienced a catastrophic cardiac arrest. I was clinically dead for close to an hour. For several days afterwards I was placed on life support but was officially brain dead. My fiancé and daughter held my hand and talked to me every day praying for me to come back to life. I am alive now. God bless.
I’m so sorry he didn’t make it, but it’s really nice that you talk with him and have found some peace. Never lose that, stay strong. 💜
This needs more attention
Hana I... I.. I am glad he talks to you, please feel better...
I'm ready tracer
One of my best friends drowned and got pulled out of the water too late. In hospital he was on life support and had spasms.
We assumed we could slowly help him revive, even if it costs us years and years!
But the doctor told us he was technically braindead and there was no hope. Then they pulled the plug and it was done!
A week later I saw him pale and doll-like in a coffin.... Dead...
It is a traumatic experience that I have to deal with for the rest of my life! I still can't believe it actually, it went by so fast... :(

I feel depressed after learning about this 😢 😢😢😢
People in comas have measurable change sin their vital signs when they hear loved ones voices. Heart rate changes, BP changes, breathing patterns speed up. Even I. Thats state qe love.
I was in a coma for 12 hours. The Doctors say, there was no brain damage BUT they didn't do any test after I came out of the coma. How is this possible & how do they know without doing any test ? Also, I have bipolar 1 disorder so I haven't been mentally well for a very long time. How do they know this is not from being in the coma.....or do they really NOT know?????
Sounds like you could have suffered a TBI. Some patients seem to recover, but then later develop mental illness. Your coma and BPD could certainly be related.
I have performed countless brain death studies. Its a very specific protocol and considers all things from vital signs, medications involved, movements, and surrounding equipment. Often times family members are in disbelief and continue to keep their family member on life support for weeks and even months. In fairness they just need more time to process the loss but most people have zero trust in medicine. So they refuse to believe bad news.
Thanks Trace! I've been following DNews for quite some time now and I really appreciate your work and content. Always interesting topics and helping to get a little inside of them.
my sister died in brain death she was having eye surgery in a surery they didnt see her oxygen is not working afer one week she died . rest in heaven my beautiful sis.
when someone is declared brain-dead, and they have to remove the life support from the brain-dead person, do they simply disconnect you and allow you to "die" from oxygen deprivation to the brain, or is there a general humane way to do it? what's the procedure?
I think they give you something for the pain. Idk though.
Have you ever done a video on Brain Hemorrhages? I am curious on how they can be caused, can they develop over time and how long can you survive with one?
I’m so happy I’ve never had to know anyone in this situation 🙏🏻

René Descartes said, "I think; therefore I am." Is the converse true? "I don't think; therefore I'm not." Let's think about it.

Are we just conscious thoughts? If your brain gets corrupted, say damaged, and delete your memory, will that person (human body) still be you? If I'm correct, we are no different than AI. Organic Intelligence. So, by the same token, we could transfer our thoughts to another entity, such as a robot, and live as AI. The issue is that the body and brain that nurtured those thoughts (the original you) will no longer be there to keep them growing or changing them. Your thoughts would be frozen in time.. forever..
Yea
I mean, thought and feelings yeah, but its basically impossible to simulate consciousness on a computer.
SuperMan It's all thought provoking however the answer is simply that everything is just a illusion. Technically, we are different people every Planck unit of time. If we were to teleport (dying then reincarnating at another location technically), we would be the same person, and although this seems different from just existing normally, it is actually physically the same. If our memories and cognitive abilities were transferred to a robot, it would think it were you, and by the definition of "you", it is. But at the same time it's not! So basically, what is consciousness? An illusion.
SuperMan And yes without our conscious thoughts, we aren't us. Also the AI we'd be transferred to would most likely have the capabilities of a learning human brain (because it wouldn't really be US otherwise due to the difference in existence without the ability to change).
I mean, so many things can change your personality, you can also suffer from memory loss, etc too. Trust me, I've had a psychotic break before. I was still there but I wasn't in control of me or my body. The person that made me wasn't. It's like someone else took control of me. I still am mentally ill but I haven't had one in awhile.

What I find really amazing is when the doctors declare someone brain dead and they actually remove all life support but the person doesn't die so I guess there really wouldn't brain-dead where they and actually wake up what do you call that you didn't mention that state did you.

I would think it depends on what you mean by "dead". Your body doesn't always die all at once. Remember you are a SYSTEM of living things. When you die these systems start failing (dying), but these failures don't always take place at the same time.

The doctors have called my father brain dead, vegetative state, and coma due to lack of oxygen to the brain. Basically caused by a strangulation. He has has been on a breathing machine for 3 years now. When I go see him i talk to him and sometimes tears run down his face and he squeezes my hand with a few fingers... he feels pain and they say that he can hear me. I was just told today that there is a netting planned to consider giving him morphine and taking him off of the ventilator. I don’t know how I feel about it. I’ve been told it’s cruel to keep him in this condition which I understand that it isn’t a great life for him at this point but at the same time I believe that he is a fighter and I have seen very very slow progress. The fact that it hasn’t gotten worse and his brain isn’t dying out more and more means a lot to me.
He is in the VA hospital in San Antonio.

Question: How long can a "brain dead" person live, its body, that is? If the brain is dead, then does it actually start to disintegrate over time, like other dead body parts would (frostbite)?
If i understand him correctly, roughly 1 week. As long as the brain stem is functioning that is.
If not, death is immediate, with the immune system being the thing that lasts longest. 12 to 24 hours as far as i know. Someone might pick up my comment and go in to more accurate detail on it.
If a person who is “brain dead” moves there arms, legs and even opens there eyes responds to people talking, and could even squeeze a hand be really brain dead? He even choked on the tubes when he was I guess “coming too”. Thank you for your help, please respond whenever you get this. They’re telling us to think about dnr but I don’t think he’s really gone.
Can you tell me what the outcome was? My aunt is declared brain dead but she moves her pupils and even blinks on one eye.
Explain to me why doctor's would deprive their patients oxygen to determine brain death? Wouldn't that kind of secure the death of the brain? Just asking. Makes zero sense to me, but I'm no doctor. I love and miss you Dad and hope I made the correct decision by listening to doctors.
Because the body at its most basic function knows to breathe..... Its testing to see if any part of the Brain stem, which regulates basic body function, is doing anything
@@yaminienterprisingllc7217 I understand this. But in certain cases, like a methadone overdose, do the same rules apply? Again, just asking?

You simply do not know what you are talking about with comas. I know people that were in comas and were aware of what was happening around them They just couldn't respond..Also there are many stories of people recovering from so called brain death. One just happened recently and was on the news...
Roy Jones it's sad that people who were organ donors died bc they were so called brain dead while they could've still recovered
You cannot recover from being brain dead. When you're brain dead you have no activity in your brain and your body is only able to be kept alive with machines, so you're wrong.
Roy Jones Aware? No they are not. Their senses still work, and they can dream about their surroundings based on the received sensory input. That doesn't mean that they know what is happening at all.
BigBlueRed 26 My good friend was in a coma and diagnosed as technically dead and she clearly remembers the nurses and what they were doing to her. They saw her hand moving so they put a pen in it and put paper underneath and she wrote about what was going on in the room at that time. Eventually she fully regained consciousness and has thrived ever since. The doctors have no explanation as to how she survived and with no brain damage whatsoever. They said it was a miracle.
Ann Burstyn Read above.
What happens if your brain gets an electric shock, you survive but have severe headaches, and nerve damage? Can the brain heal itself from that?
Here after DMX was announced brain dead🤦🏾♂️
I knew it the day he overdosed it wasn’t his first time and when he was announced brain dead I knew he fucked up bad this time
Been through this with my sister its so hard to go through.. I didn't want to be there when they turned the machines off.. They did try everything they could for 10 days unfortunately she was never going to be able to wake from the coma
Very knowledgefull video.👌
My friend died this way.
She had an allergic shock. Ate a cake of nut and got into a hospital. Fallen into coma.. parents thought she couldn't make it so they thought they'll stop the machines a day after... but than she got brain dead.
Nearly a year since she died.

Rest in peace! I will never forget our beautiful time Paula! ❤
My father has been brain dead for the past 10 years in a nursing home, brain stem is dead but his eyes move, he can breath on his own has a feeding tube but cannot communicate at all not even in blinking. It's very strange. No life support obviously either, it's that polish blood, won't give up too easy
If I'm in a vegetative state feed me meat
I will feed you a vegan gluten free diet and you won't be able to stop me.

My friend just accidently OD on xanax and hes been at the hospital for 4 days now. And he is brain dead. This makes so much since now this is awful knowing hes actually going to be gone. And the doctors are suggesting his parents to donate his organs for those who need. Hes so young to go💔
I’m sorry for your loss. a coma took my 2nd cousin. It’s unfair that some people die so young
I am now breathing manually...thanks DNews!
yea this actually helped me understand what brain dead is.
my dad had an accident with a gun and was in a coma for a few days before being pronounced brain dead and my mom said ok to "pulling the plug" I was so mad at her for like a whole year and I didn't know why she did just let him come back from it
If you can read this it's time for you to wake up. You've been in a coma for 20 years and have created an artificial reality to live in. Also we need you awake to file your tax return. It's severely overdue and I kinda crashed your car.
Flash Man hahaha :)

USSR Gaming he's serious tho.
Flash Man oh thanks sorry 😂😂😂
Flash Man oh
My brother is in a coma for a month now due to heart attack. His heart stopped beating. The ambulance got there late and he was without oxigen for a long time. With difficulty they started his heart, but he is in a coma for a month now. Dr. say he was 92% brain dead which I do not believe as they refuse to do a second MRI or EEG. He sleeps mostly, yawns, and makes some noises, sighing and others. At the sound of our voices (imediate family, wife, sisters, brothers) he occassionally opens his eyes wide open when whe speak with him, or when he is shaved. He also flexess his muscles and pushes arms and legs sometimes. What is his prognosis? What chances does he have? I really need a specialist to weigh-in. Thank you.
Here tnt praying my best friend will wake up tmr... My mind is running 😢
This happened to my god brother he accidentally drowned thought he would make it I still had hope after the doctors said he was brain dead sadly they took him off life support just 3 days later.💔
Someone please explain this to the family of Jahi Mcmath.
They are in denial. According to what a friend told me, the last picture also showed her body decomposing.
Is it true the brain it's self doesn't actually feel pain and if that's true then why would they keep a hospital room soo cold" to help stimulate the brain if possible while someone is on ventilator in a medically induced coma being monitored, eyes kept open and smothered with Vaseline type lubercante so their eyes don't dry out and if eyes can dry out and covered in lube, would your eyes water at all? In beginning? hours later? Both eyes? just one eye? Neither one?
please pray for my aunt ( its confusing) she was declared brain dead today miracles can happen :(
Marianne Simani Yup always believe in Christ and miracles do happen and my dad is brain dead too and always pray and pray because praying is the most powerful thing that no one can stop and god is listening to your prayers and don't lose hope.
BeastX KingV if God knows everything why do you have to pray?
