Black People : Brain Dead - How is it Determined?

I second Kingpin's observations. hodee mentioned that one (or more) of the tests i(#3, I think) is not proof positive, which is true, no one element of the tests performed are diagnostic, rather, the results are taken as a whole. Also remember that the show was edited for TV, there are other things that happen and things going on that get edited out because a TV show has to fit a time slot. As for test #2, sometimes an EMG is hooked up to the patient, sometimes not. Sensory tests and pinprick tests are generally done on both upper and lower extremities, the other half of the test was probably edited out.
Test#1--people respond to their names being called, it doesn't matter whose voice it is. When you've seen it happen in a trauma case, you'll understand.
#3 pupil dilation is an involuntary reflex. Dead people don't have that reflex.

As Kingpin said, the CT is not a pass/ fail test, it was done to show the MDs how much brain tissue is damaged/ destroyed and where that damage is. For those who don't know, bullets don't maintain their shape when they hit something. They metal is soft and they get deformed, so what they take out is almost always of greater area than the size/ shape of the bullet, they don't just go into something in their normal shape/ size and rest on something, putting pressure on it. They are made to, and they do, destroy flesh. The deformity would be less at closer range, but it still happens.
 
HOW YOU KNOW A BRAIN IS DEAD

working in this field a few years back ....
A brain death is defined as the irreversible loss of all functions of the brain
it can be determined in several ways
1... No electrical activity in the brain and determined by EEG

2.... No blood flow to and from the brain and this done by studies and lab work

3.... Absence of function of all parts of the brain ways to determined this is from
no movement , no response to stimulation , no breathing and or brain reflexes

the way Doctors and studies have lable brain death from a Gun wound to the head
cause major destruction of the brain tissues and swelling , brains are enclosed in
the skull and have no room to swell this pressure within the skull where it's cracked
or open pushies the brain out once a bullet enters a skull affecting the brain it have a
massive enlargement that shut any function off to brain waves or signals this increase
called (( " INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE ")) their is no reversal

note the heart can still beat from the ventilator or medications to help keep pressure
normal.
A person who is declared brain dead is legally dead

Testing for death of the brain
is a pressure supplied from the wound a enlargement take place
it's true a person can go into shock or a coma from the blast but the
activity wave of the brain would still function , NOT in the wave of
hearing , speaking , or feeling but the most common sign a brain is dead
is through (BREATHING) if the brain is alive it will breathed

3 , 4 & 5 is how many hosp. do it and from these diagnosis , studies
and lab work this how a Doctor determined the life or death of a brain

ALWAYS their are two Doctors to give the finalization of brain death

many time they don't need days but skillful hours to determined this
even in a coma the brain can suffer and still die .

why become a laying dead veggie and linger suffering to the family or love one's
basicly a gun shot wound to the head 99.99% is death and major brain damage
that can't be healed you die and many cases has proven this findings and the reaction
has all been determined the same outcome.

Days of study just cost family your dead the brain is dead .
 
Bottomline

This man was shot in the head and the bullet entered the skull and was lodged in the brain. There is no doubt about brain damage, bullets are not suppose to rip through brain tissue. The questions will he recover? The doctor's are not doctors because you can get a doctorate from Kmart they know what their doing. After the CT revealed the damage and the body wouldn't breath on it's own it was obvious there was more than brain damage there was physical death. There was no need in prolonging the truth or instilling false hope. The doctors did the right thing according to the available technology.
