      @@wittyreviewer y'know, since I'm not a medical professional, I don't know if they do or not. Although, I'm not a medical professional, so can't answer for whether the pain-center of the brain is awake during a comatose state. I'm pretty sure it's like being unconscious, which mostly hampers the pain sense, especially if medically induced because it would most likely involve a cocktail of drugs that suppresses everything but the automatic function of the brain like breathing or swallowing.

    This is why you ALWAYS talk to the patient, before, during and after any procedure. ALWAYS presume they can hear and understand everything. I knew a girl who was in a coma for 10 years. Her nurses never talked to her. They would just suddenly grab her tracheostomy (tube in a hole in the neck) and start moving it without talking to her first. She remembered all of this. When she finally "woke up" she was able to react when the nurses did this, although she couldn't talk so she BIT THE NURSES NOSE. I am a student nurse now but have been a carer for years. ALWAYS TALK THROUGH EVERYTHING WITH THE PATIENT NO MATTER WHAT STATE THEY ARE IN.

      I would do this every time as well. So many others didn't and surprise surprise the residents didn't like them very much. I would even talk to them if they were literally dead and we were doing their final cares before the morticians showed up to remove them.

Manners can make your life and the lives of others so much more comfortable.

      2) You can only diagnose brain death correctly by doing an EEG, with that they would notice that he is not brain dead.

      I had a classmate who went diving off a bridge near town.
      He landed headfirst in three feet of water.
      He never woke up and was a complete vegetable, his family refused to let him be unplugged from life support.
      He died about five to ten years later still that vegetable. It was a story I never forgot about, not just about him being like that for so long, but the hazards of diving off a bridge like that.

      As a trauma surgeon I promise you it's not that cavalier. The idea that as soon as brain activity falls to minimal levels or a heart stops and we stop administering care and immediately declare a patient dead is fiction, with one exception- the absence of a pupilary reflex. The reason for this is the final sign of brain death is the lack of a pupilary reflex (commonly stated as "the pupils go last") if a patient still has pupilary reflex we may decide they are unable to be saved (look a am but a man, if your brain tissue has been mostly replaced by blood there's not much I can do) and declare their "provisional time of death" but until that pupilary reflex goes no doctor worth their license is going to declare the patient fully dead.

    The first Doctor is the reason why my mother refused to let us sign up to be transplant donors when it was first brought in, she believed if an accident happened that Doctors wouldn’t bother trying to save patients in order to provide transplants. Her friends son had brain damage after an accident, the Doctors told his parents that he would be in a vegetative state and it was best to let him die. They fought for him but ended up being convinced to turn life support off, he had other plans, kept breathing, heart beating and eventually woke from his coma. Had to relearn a lot of things and is now married with kids, working too. The main noticeable thing is he slurs words when he’s tired.

      At least now check the brain if it's dead (or, nearly dead, or looking dead...) or not. Once upon a time it was somewhat common (very rare but not rare enough) to be buried alive, there is evidence for both that and for people fearing it and installing all kinds of devices in their graves to give a sogn of living in such situation. Nowadays the body waits at least a few days and is checked. Back then they could not notice shallow breathing and weak heart rate. The person would wake up in the coffin. There were graves found with nails marks and uneasily positioned skeletons.

    For those who are wondering.
    This is a scene from the nineteenth episode of the fifth season of House. The name of the episode is Locked In. It aired on March 30, 2009. Large portions of the episode are shown from the perspective of the patient, who retains consciousness but lacks the ability to move.
    House is injured in a motorcycle accident in Middletown, New York, and finds himself in bed next to a patient (Mos Def) suffering from locked-in syndrome after a bicycling accident. His attending doctor diagnoses brain death, and suggests transplanting his heart into another patient. House notices the patient following the doctors with his eyes, and is immediately interested in taking up his case. Thirteen suggests a well-placed tumor, so the team does an MRI. House sees a lesion on the scan. However, the patient's attending thinks the patient has an infection and has him on antibiotics. House tells the patient if he has cancer, the antibiotics could kill him. However, they could almost kill him, in which case it would confirm that the patient doesn't have an infection. Just then, the patient seizes. Communicating through blinking, the patient requests transfer to Princeton Plainsboro.
    The team plans to do a brain biopsy on the new patient, but he loses his eyelid movement in the operation, and with that, his only way to communicate with the doctors. Dr. Taub suggests they should use a brain-computer interface for communication with the patient. It takes the patient a while, but he finally manages to shift the arrow up, showing he's still mentally present. Communicating via yes or no (up for yes and down for no) on the computer, the team takes the patient's history. He claims he did not visit St. Louis, contradicting his wife. Because he is unable to explain himself, his wife concludes that he has had an affair. Further investigation reveals that the patient has stayed at a friend's home, in order to maintain the facade of a successful business. Unbeknownst to his wife, he was moonlighting as a janitor, where he was exposed to cadmium, leading the team to believe that he has heavy metal poisoning.
    Thirteen notices that he has a tear in the epithelial cells in his eye, and a fluorescein stain reveals ulcerative keratitis. Cameron suggests the team does a lumbar puncture, noting that polys (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) would mean it's varicella, and lymphs, Behçet's. During the lumbar puncture however, the patient crashes. They bring him back, but his foot starts to itch, which he manages to communicate to the team after several questions. This indicates liver failure. Thirteen suggests that the dying liver released toxins which led to locked-in syndrome. Foreman suggests that the liver, kidney and eye point towards sclerosing cholangitis. House orders a biopsy to confirm.
    As the team gets ready to perform the biopsy, Kutner notices a rash on Thirteen's wrist, where some of the patient's urine had spilled. He deduces that it is a rash due to leptospirosis, which was transferred from rats, living in the basement where the patient had stayed. Sure enough, the patient has a paper cut on his index finger. The treatment is started, and Kutner manages to get the patient to lift a finger. The patient gradually regains control of his body, and thanks House, who has gone to the patient's room to retrieve a recorder which he's been using to listen in on his team from under the patient's pillow.
    Meanwhile, Wilson gets curious as to why House was in Middletown. At the end of the episode, Wilson finds out that House was there to see a psychiatrist, and confronts him on the issue. House reluctantly acknowledges Wilson's accusation, but says he is not going to continue any further sessions. The episode ends with Wilson predicting House will end up alone, and showing that House's vision blurs in a similar fashion to the "locked-in" patient as he looks towards Wilson.
    Foreman also tells the patient that he bought his first girlfriend a silver necklace and she never wore it, so he never bought his girlfriends jewelry again, until he met Thirteen. He bought her a bracelet, but again, she doesn't appear to be wearing it. Later during the liver biopsy, Kutner asks Thirteen why she's not wearing her bracelet. Foreman says he didn't realize she was wearing it at all, and Thirteen questions why Kutner noticed but not Foreman. Kutner then notices Thirteen's rash, which he attributes to the patient's urine which could have entered through a scratch from the bracelet.

    I'm so glad that there are professionals that understand that even patients in a coma are able to hear or perceive things, even if it's at a very rudimentary level. Locked in syndrome sounds like the scariest thing

    We need a VR game based on this! The concept of not being able to do anything, but respond in your head, look around, blink, it would be very interesting to see something like that! Please reply if there is one already!

    In an earlier episode, they were able to tell if somebody is lying or telling the truth based on which parts of the brain flare up during an MRI.
    Wouldn't it also be possible to tell if somebody is suffering from locked-in syndrome that way too? Just tell them to think about something that's true, then tell them to think about something that's false, or something they made up, or to use their imagination.
    Do it a few dozen times to remove all doubt.

      Yes. People with locked-in syndrome are also still able to look upwards. In reality it would be blatantly obvious that he is locked in

      I’m not sure if that would work the same way. I don’t remember the episode. But you can say a falsehood (and one who know is false) without actually lying by it just being an act (literally) or just explaining the falsehood itself.

    I can't imagine the fear he must have been in in the opening part when they were going to harvest his organs, being locked in and unable to stop them from cutting you up and killing you is such an awful death to imagine going through thank the gods house is smarter than the other doctors on MD

    by far one of my favourite episodes from house. it is such a unique idea, putting the viewer in the mind of someone with locked-in syndrome

    Beautiful done episode.
    Fiy, the moment the patient could confirm an itchy feeling inside a non-harmed body part, despite having brain damage, is a high indicator for a rare pathogenic infection.
    Rare due to unusual symptoms.

    I know this doesn't sound like much, but the fact that he stood completely still is an amazing feat of acting, like (probably) his eyes were stopped in post but he didn't move the rest of his body at all when he was on camera, what a man!

    My dad experienced something similar while in surgery. I don't think he felt any pain but he was there, paralyzed with his eyes closed but completely conscious, knowing the doctors were performing surgery on him. He says it's the most horrible thing he has experienced in his life
