After suffering a massive hemorrhage caused by an accident in which his femoral artery was injured, my brother (52) had to be operated on and got artificial resuscitation in a medical center ten days ago. Right now he seems to be physically recuperated, he can breathe by himself and doctors say that lab tests results are okay. Electrocardiograms and electroencephalograms are also okay. He has recovered the color of his face and he looks pretty healthy at first sight. However, until this moment he has not awaken. Although he is not receiving any sedation, he seems to be in a state of profound unconsciousness. Having excluded any physiological or chemical cause for his sleeping, I wonder if there could be a psychological cause promoting his refusal to get back to life.
