They may start seeing several observations that are of course better than nothing, but the big picture is still going to be that he's had a massive stroke. The damage is already there and I still would stick to the opinion that his prognosis is very, very poor even if he survives.

We are basically hoping he survives and that he has some kind of ability to get some rehab so he can have some useful function again. But we are talking about the basics, we are talking very basic things. The complexity of this man, and what he did for a living, this is not to even be considered now. This is absolutely unrealistic at this time.
If they hadn't given him blood thinners and he had another clot-related stroke - which could have happened - there would have been outrage and criticism that the doctors had not treated the first stroke aggressively enough.
The doctors were responding to that first stroke properly with the use of blood thinners. It is unfair to critique them based on the information we have.
