I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that a coma patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. Following commands is what we call it often its wishful thinking on the families part. Nurses can easily become callous to it.
His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stand on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face and talk to him. She climbed up on the stool I spoke to her for a few minutes, and then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, Donna, hes moving his hand!
This led me to another train of questioning. But, did he let go when you asked him to? She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked
She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did.
So, I said, Ask him to hold up one finger. He did as asked.
