The latest episode of The Hidden Brain recounts a case where a 9-year-old girl was erroneously determined brain dead (13:00 to 20:00). Her parents began discussing organ donation with clinicians. Then the girl squeezed her dad's hand on request.
Combined with the high profile Anthony Thomas “TJ” Hoover case and others, families may be concerned about diagnostic accuracy even when they understand and accept brain death as death.
