Inside Coma
Offering a new view and a fascinating understanding of coma states, this hope-filled work explains technology-driven insights and describes practices with which family members and caregivers can help promote recovery.Exciting scientific discoveries are validating what coma therapists Dr. Pierre Morin and Dr. Gary Reiss have been teaching for years: that coma patients' awareness is both detailed and complex, and their chances of significant recovery is much greater than previously thought. Inside Coma: A New View of Awareness, Healing, and Hope describes practical, body-centered ways of communicating with coma patients, showing family members and caregivers how to enter the patient's inner world of experience to engage their will and power to heal. Advocating for a new, ethical sensitivity that gives patients in remote and comatose states a right to exist, the authors explain the newest developments in the cutting-edge treatment of coma patients through a mind-body approach to medicine and healing, placing these developments in the context of the changing field of consciousness studies. They teach, challenge, and inspire readers to a new level of understanding, compassion, and intervention, offering basic tools with which health-care professionals and family members alike can begin this remarkably effective work.Heartwarming stories that engender genuine hope for professionals and families dealing with this most difficult area of treatmentMore than 20 relevant exercises that help the reader to understand the coma state and how to be most useful to the person in this stateAn appendix that expands on scientific and philosophical concepts introduced in the book and includes reference linksA glossary of basic terms of process-oriented coma work and related medical termsA bibliography

Assessment of a Patient in Coma
The authors start with definitions and classification of a depressed conscious state and proceed to detail practical tips in the initial assessment of patients with coma, focussing on the history and examination. They impress the number of non-neurological causes of coma, which may need to be considered. The assessment of pupillary responses, eye movement abnormalities and abnormal breathing patterns are described. They also explore the utility of basic initial investigations, including blood gases and briefly discuss specialist neuro-imaging and electroencephalography.

Sober Jim Coma, Canes, & Courage
This spirited tale with a twist is a true account of "Sober Jim's" life. Instead of a gratifying future carefully planned, many TBI families often exchanged their idealistic vision for fear and turmoil. Jim's steep climb to healing is told in this captivating account of heroism, zaniness, fun and stubbornness -- the minute Jim could get off his deathbed. He was never one to take situations lying down! Pat Occleshaw was elected founding president of the Southern California Head Injury Foundation, Inc. (SCHIF) in 1982. Today California is a chapter of the National Brain Injury Association - BIAA. In those formative years, thousands of families and professionals gathered to open a successful grassroots corridor supporting the TBI population and families. "The Decade of the Brain" was introduced to the nation in 1990. Advanced recovery methods are now developed for extreme sports and war related head injury. Helmet and child safety restraint laws, mandatory seat belt and new air bag laws. This is their story.

Language and Imagery of Coma and Brain Injury
What occurs within coma? What does the coma patient experience? How does the patient perceive the world outside of coma, if at all? The simple answer to these questions is that we don’t know. Yet the sheer volume of literary and media texts would have us believe that we do. Examining representations of coma and brain injury across a variety of texts, this book investigates common tropes and linguistic devices used to portray the medical condition of coma, giving rise to universal mythologies and misconceptions in the public domain. Matthew Colbeck looks at how these texts represent, or fail to represent, long-term brain injury, drawing on narratives of coma survivors that have been produced and curated through writing groups he has run over the last 10 years. Discussing a diverse range of cultural works, including novels by Irvine Welsh, Stephen King, Tom McCarthy and Douglas Coupland, as well as film and media texts such as The Sopranos, Kill Bill, Coma and The Walking Dead, Colbeck provides an explanation for our fascination with coma. With a proliferation of misleading stories of survival in the media and in literature, this book explores the potential impact these have upon our own understanding of coma and its victims.
