I like the fact that the best score you can get is still Minor Brain Injury.

Considering they are finding loud noises can cause a minor brain injury, we are all a little brain damaged

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

It is a tool used to grade the severity of a head trauma on initial evaluation by EMS or in an ER. So the top score of 15 still says minor brain injury because it’s like..hedging bets that if you got whacked with a bat or something you might still have some minor injury that’s not detectable on exam.

Considering that’s a diagnostic tool to determine your Glasgow Coma Score, I’d say “Minor Brain Injury” as a best case is not unreasonable.

In a word, no.

Abnormal posturing is indicative of a serious increase in intracranial pressure, and may be a warning that your brain is trying to herniate out of your skull (this kills the crab patient). No motor response to pain is also really bad. With that much brain damage, you're not going to be "fine". Probably not ever.

A score that low on the motor portion of the scale is a serious medical emergency even without evaluating the other parts, but the way the brain is, if you're injured enough to score low on one part, it's gonna be low across the board.

Okay given that nobody was talking to you but you were looking at your screen I'm going to give you 4 points on Eye Opening Response. You did respond to a joke as though it were a serious statement so that's only a 4 on the Verbal Response section. Now let's assess your Motor Response: :getout:

If a patient had an M<5 and didn't have ones for the other two values a neurosurgeon I know would reject it out of hand.

https://www.glasgowcomascale.org/faq/ has a good chart showing how purposeful motor control pretty much always preceeds any verbal or eye score improvement.
