What is a medically induced coma?

A medically-induced coma is a controlled process done at hospitals for better and effective treatment of patients. It is a useful form of ‘medical tool’, that is used to achieve a deep state of brain inactivity, according to the GNRC Hospitals’ official website.

The process is completely reversible and drug-powered. Once the effect of the drug wears off, or necessary medical activities are conducted, the patient would be back into consciousness.
