Information and spoilers for General Hospital tease Will Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), who is playing Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), ever wake up? She worries that he might never wake up again because he was unconscious from the moment he was shot until he underwent surgery.
General Hospital Spoilers: Glasgow Coma Scale 111
When the paramedics brought Curtis into the ER at GH, they said his Glasgow coma scale number was 111. That’s a real thing, and the CDC describes a 111 as basically brain dead-no response in touch, hearing or anything.
That means there is a lot more than paralysis to worry about even though that is an important situation as well.
The doctors will try to remove the bullet and assess any spinal damage, but there’s a possibility with that Glasgow score he may be in an indeterminate coma. That means a difficult decision could lie ahead – whether to leave Curtis on life support or pull the plug, and brain death doesn’t leave many options.
GH Spoilers: Scans Will Be Done To Assess Brain Activity
The immediate issue is the bullet, which needs to be removed in order to prevent further damage to the spine, assuming the bullet hasn’t already done so. However, neurological tests will also be performed to evaluate brain activity, and if the Glasgow score is negative, the issue of paralysis would be moot.
If Curtis may never awaken, the Ashford-Robinson family will be split apart, and Trina’s introduction to her birth father won’t be an exception. The Ashford-Robinson family is the one whose life will never be the same according to GH spoilers, whether Curtis never wakes up or becomes paralyzed.
Curtis was just in the wrong place at the wrong time to catch that ricocheted bullet, and it’s just not fair or right-but at the moment, he’s alive with help.
General Hospital Spoilers: Out Of Surgery, Still Unconscious
Although anesthesia was given in case he did wake up, Curtis remains unconscious after the surgery and unresponsive to various stimuli.
The doctors think he went unresponsive from the loss of blood, which carries oxygen to the brain. The family is advised it’s a wait and see situation and it may be best for him to not be awakened because of needing time to heal.
However, in the interim, General Hospital hints tease The possibility of paralysis exists even if Curtis is kept on life support for an indefinite period of time. Even if doctors manage to remove the bullet, Trina and the family would suffer because of the blood loss, and the odds are stacked against him.
