would being crushed by a hug machine really put you into a coma? broken bones, yes, suffocation, yes, but a coma? i am currently reading the book. i hope the book will continue where the show left off. damn cliffhanger.
Coma may result from a variety of conditions, including intoxication, metabolic abnormalities, central nervous system diseases, acute neurologic injuries such as stroke, and HYPOXIA.
So if that's to be believed, then lack of oxygen could put somebody in a coma.
im sure they did their homework before creating this episode. besides ehtan went to med-school so if anyone is doubting his diagnosis, keep that in mind.
No kidding. The whole episode was a giant *beep* you to CBC. Like when Cowboy said it was total premature evacuation. But I was pretty choked how they ended it.
