A member asked:
If my brain stem was severed from my brain. i am breathing on my own but i will not wake up is there a treatment to help my stem reconnect to brain?

Not happening, Jack: If your brainstem were severed, you'd be extremely dead. You need to look at some anatomy pictures to see why. Whatever you imagine has happened to your brainstem, hasn't.
