I was a paramedic for 11 years, never really considered the GCS as a 'coma' measurement tool, more of a way to judge a persons level of consciousness. Someone who is unconscious is not necessarily in a coma... All this is moot though - Rodney Dangerfield made me laugh more times than I can possibly remember. For that, I am grateful. —HazeTrooper |
