21岁的大学生Sam Schmid 因车祸重伤入院,一度被医生确定脑死亡并开始准备作为器官捐献者。就在准备撤除他维生设备的前几个小时,他忽然有了反应。今天他已经能在助步器的支撑下行走,并能讲话。医生认为他可以完全恢复。

他的医生,一位著名的神经外科医生Spetzler,在病人多日无反应的情况下,根据大脑MRI影像特征没有放弃维生设备,但一度感觉希望渺茫,认为他的恢复真是奇迹。他说:"I am dumb-founded with his incredible recovery in such a short time。 His recovery was really remarkable considering the extent of his lethal injuries." "There are so many things we don't understand about the brain and what happens at the time someone is near death."
