There's no way a patient in a first-world country went 23 years without anyone thinking to try something more precise than the Glasgow Coma Scale.

I'm glad you mentioned this.
FC is bunk. It comes up in my classes from time to time, usually brought up by curious students who vaguely remember the incidents MSD mentioned. It is EXACTLY like a Ouija board--that is the example used more often than not by professors addressing this. I have yet to meet a human development professor who takes it seriously; by and large, they think it's a load of crap, and I have to agree.
