How did NORK healthcare keep him alive for so long when the UuS health care couldn’t?


Did the family have him taken off of life support?

Brain injuries are difficult for everyone. Some people don’t cope well. It’s become common practice to remove life support, and even food and water, rather than deal with a severe brain injury. People usually cope with what they’ve done by pretending their loved one died at the moment their brain was injured. Defining someone as dead makes it easier to deprive them of life sustaining measures, and helps avoid the feelings of guilt associated with starving and dehydrating someone to death.
