Evaluation after being comatose: who is best to do so to reveal inability to speak, & being non mobile...the person was a genius and perfectly healthy?

Recovery from a coma: This is a complicated question. It really depends on what caused the coma and how this person's health was during and after the coma. A neurologist is a good person to start with in order to best understand what issues are causing this person's continued health problems. I hope this answer helps.Co.
