Steven Thorpe's parents were told there was no chance of their son surviving after he suffered serious injuries in a car crash.But they refused to give up hope—despite four specialists declaring that Steven Thorpe was brain dead.John and Janet Thorpe rejected advice to switch off his life support machine.They begged for another opinion—and it was a decision that saved him.
A doctor found faint signs of brain activity and two weeks later,Steven woke from his coma(昏迷)．Within seven weeks
From his home in Kenilworth,Warwickshire,Steven,21,said,“I feel so lucky that my parents wouldn't take no for an answer.”
The schoolboy was traveling in a rover with two friends in February 2008 when a horse ran into the path of the car in front of them.His friend Matthew Jones,18,was killed in the accident.Steven suffered serious injuries to his face,head and arm,and was declared brain dead two days later.He said,“The doctors were telling my parents that they wanted to take me off the life support.The words they said to my parents were ‘You need to start thinking about organ donations’．I think that's what gave my dad energy.He thought ‘No way’．They still believed I was there.When they sat around the bed,they had the feeling that I was there.They said some words to me and I reacted to them.I think if my dad had agreed with them then I would have been off the life support machine in seconds.”
Doctors then concluded that Steven was not brain dead and that there was still a slim chance of recovery.They agreed to try to bring Steven out of his chemically－induced coma to see if he could survive.Two weeks later(本能的感觉)about somethingve and he was correct.”
