近来传播媒介不断有所谓“植物人”康复的报道,致使在国内医学界引起较大的争论。争论的焦点是“植物人”究竟能不能康复? 回答应该是否定的。因为国际上对此早已有一致的结论;持久植物状态的病人或脑死亡的病人其病情是不可逆转的,是不可能康复的。 Recently, there have been reports in the media of the so-called “vegetative” rehabilitation, which has caused much controversy in the domestic medical community. The focus of the debate is whether “vegetative” can recover? The answer should be negative. This is because the international community has long ago reached a consensus on this point. Patients whose protracted state of the plant or brain have died are irreversible and unable to recover from the disease.
