Terri MacGreggor was sent into a coma by her abusive boyfriend Rick Murray on Degrassi.

No. Exams of patients with encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) usually reveal a drowsy or confused patient but not in a coma. A person in a coma state can not be aroused.
There are several different ways a person can end up in a coma due to a brain injury. A person can go into a coma if the brains swells or bleeds after the injury.
The brain is constantly working even if a person is in a coma. The only reason this would change is because the person has gone brain dead and the brain is no longer producing waves of activity.
When a stroke effects the brain stem it effects the whole body locking them in that sleep-like coma state. Blood flow is restricted to the brain and the entire brain is impacted. The person effected will not be able to speak, see, or function below the neck area.
Our Son had 2 low blood sugar diabetic coma, he is type 1. The first time he was in a coma for 5 weeks and came out of it with some memory loss and brain damage. The second was 2 years later and he was in a coma for 5 weeks and slowly became aware and awake but had severe brain damage to the point of retardation, could not form words or speak, cannot follow instructions, cannot walk or crawl or climb on his own, cannot feed himself or take care of his bodily functions.
Any brain damage obtained before the state of coma is what causes clawing hands during a coma. This is what is commonly called a vegetative state.
Brain death is the complete and irreversible loss of brain function, including the brainstem. A person in a vegetative state has preserved brainstem function but no awareness of their surroundings. Coma is a state of unconsciousness where a person is unresponsive. Brain death results in no consciousness or brain function, while a vegetative state may have some basic functions. Coma is a temporary state of unconsciousness that may or may not lead to recovery.
Stroke damage is always somewhere in the brain. However, you cannot say that every person who has had a stroke and is in a coma has had the stroke in the same part of the brain. Strokes can affect just about any area of the brain.
A person can enter a coma due to various factors that disrupt normal brain function. Common causes include traumatic brain injuries, strokes, seizures, drug overdoses, infections affecting the brain (like encephalitis or meningitis), and metabolic imbalances (such as severe hypoglycemia or liver failure). These conditions can impair consciousness by affecting the brain's ability to maintain awareness and response to stimuli. The severity and duration of the coma depend on the underlying cause and the extent of brain damage.
A coma is a deep state of unconsciousness, your brain is at its lowest activity level.
Is a patient in a induced coma aware of her surrounding.
No, it is not possible for a person to survive with only 1 percent of their brain working. The brain is essential for vital functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and basic bodily functions. Severe brain damage can result in coma or death.
