The firefighter who was on the scene describes how they test for consciousness (1) Try to talk to the patient (2) tap them on the shoulder (3) if no response, apply a painful stimulus (4) try a more painful stimulus. If no response to pain then they know consciousness is seriously impaired That's just paramedics who are on the scene. Once they get to hospital the real tests will start. It's very unlikely anyone can fake it. | |

Were they found just lying in the road unconscious? How did they get to hospital? Are they totally unconscious (or pretending to be)? Are they faking memory loss or inability to speak? Etc. | |

"Why would you I had stroke paralyzed my son permanent vegetative state seizure that damaged his brain wasting a bed for someone who could die also treatment may kill you" | |

| Sep 14, 2019 at 13:08 | comment | added | cal | @Chickensarenotcows, I guess I could go with "brain damaged." Mainly just wondering if good acting is all that's necessary, or if it's impossible to fool an MRI or any other tests a layman like me isn't aware of. | |
