A member asked:
What will a doctor do for someone who has just woken up from a coma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rehabilitation: Doctors can prescribe both physical and cognitive rehabilitation programs. In addition they can have a patient receive a supportive mental health program which would provide support to the family as well. As part of the cognitive rehabilitation program, a thorough neuropsychological assessment should be done to help understand any cognitive deficits that may be present.
