A member asked:
How long can somebody survive in a coma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No definite answer: I am sure there are anecdotal stories of people being in coma for years and waking up from it, but those are few "miracle" instances. The longer the coma, the poorer the prognosis for survival is.
