My brother-in-law suffered a severe heart attack about a month ago. He’s 40. His wife told us he showed no brain activity, other than that in his upper spinal cord, in the MRI’s done at 1 and 2 weeks after the event. He woke up a day after his second MRI and is currently in rehab. I never saw the scan results, but I don’t understand how they could be so wrong.
