Stunned Doctor: Teen Basketball Player Continued Shooting Even While in a Coma!

Maggie Meier was a sharpshooter on an AAU basketball team that had won the national title. Her father Steve was the coach of this team. The Kansas City teen lived and breathed basketball, so it was only natural when she entered high school in 2008 that she would want to play.
But she didn’t end up on the court. Not because she wasn’t good enough though: she was in a coma. Did that stop her from shooting around? Apparently not.

The Daily reports that Meier began exhibiting unusual symptoms, including seizures, that eventually led doctors to discover she had meningitis that caused swelling in the brain – mycoplasma meningoencephalitis. She was in the hospital for 100 days and in a coma for two and a half months. Amazingly, when her parents moved her into a wheel chair and placed a beach ball in her hands, she began to shoot. But she would soon return to a comatose condition.
The Kansas City Star reported Meier’s mother as saying sometimes she would wake up long enough to just hold the ball; other times she would shoot:
Three minutes. Four minutes. Maybe five. And then … back to the coma.
“That showed us,” Margaret says, “that there was something still in there.”
Here’s more from The Daily on Meier:
“I have never seen anything like it,” said Dr. William Graf, Meier’s neurologist. “The act of shooting a basketball must have been ingrained as one of Maggie’s basic instincts — her basketball shooting motion came back to her even before she was able to stand up or walk again.”
[...]
The moments when she was awake are just tales to Meier, not memories.
“Coming back to normal, I hear stories like that, like shooting the beach ball,” she said. “I played basketball my whole life, since third grade. I had the knowledge of playing and knowing what was going on in a game.”
The Daily reports that even though high school basketball was not in the cards for Meier her freshman year — she had to relearn to walk, talk and read — she made junior varsity her sophomore year and was a part-time starter as a senior on the varsity team this year.

When Meier graduates this spring, she’ll be attending Benedictine College in Kansas where she plans to study special education.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 6:57pmThis story reminds one of the phenomena detailed in the movie “Awakenings” where in the 60′s I believe a doctor at a sanatorium noticed that comatose and low functioning patients who all had childhood encephalitis, that had been written off as mentally retarded or deficient exhibited remarkable abilities in very specific conditions that indicated cognitive function. He postulated finally that the patients were their, but on an impossibly fast internal processing clock that did not allow them to leave a state of cognitive interuption. He experiemented with drug therapy that was able to slow down that clock and re-animate characters that had not existed for decades. Unfortunatly, the drugs ability to make up for the condition was only a temporary fix and the symptoms returned, eventually all the patients locked back into their mental prisons once more. Very sad, and I believe true story. One wonders if the doctor had had more funding and technical support from other research scientists if some of those patients could have had some sort of a therapeutic recovery that would rejoin their connection with the world.

So all of those movements that the family had on video were nothing more than the localized reflexive twitching of muscles. The family said they were going to sue as soon as they found medical experts that would contest the findings – no lawsuit so far.

Report Post »Rowgue
Posted on February 23, 2012 at 12:55pmAn insurance company can’t pull the plug, all they can do is refuse to continue paying for the care. Which they can still do under obama care. Obama care doesn’t change anything about actual medical care, all it does is require every single person to carry health insurance regardless of if they can actually afford it or not. It’s not an overhaul of the healthcare system, it’s just another way the government wants to control your life.
Mandatory insurance laws don’t make it cheaper to get your car fixed after an accident or make the service any better, it just gives the government another way to control you and another revenue stream. It’s the exact same scenario with mandatory health insurance.

I realize that when you’ve sold your soul to an ideology it filters everything you think or feel, but that doesn‘t mean it’s right. Terry Schiavo’s husband vacated that marriage contract when he married and had children with the other woman, all the money he was awarded for Terri’s care WAS NOT SPENT, for the Neurotherapy with which she could have retrained her brain. AS A TBI PATIENT, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT WHEN MY NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I, (I had NO short term memory at the time, and if I looked away from my hand could not tell what was in it.) that I could re-learn things to the unused portion of the brain but it wouldn’t be easy,SHE WAS RIGHT!. SHE DEALT WITH THESE CASES ON A DAILY BASIS, AND BELIEVE ME, IT’S NOT EASY TO RELEARN, BUT WHAT TERRI WAS EXHIBITING WAS EXACTLY WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS, I TOO HAD TO RELEARN COMMUNICATION SKILLS, THOUGH NOT AS COMPLETELY!

Posted on February 23, 2012 at 9:44amThere was a medical study releases a few years after Terry died; the parts of her brain that would have ben necessary to think, be alive, do anything the parents THOUGHT they saw, had liquified. People still to this day have fooled themselves into thinking otherwise. Sometimes, there is no coming back.
IF you want to keep somebody on life support with a head full of liquid brain, just find what kid is the current victim of the British Nanny Shaker, and hook ‘em up.
Report Post »Rowgue
Posted on February 23, 2012 at 1:08pmThere was no liquified brain. The medical examiner did determine that there was irreversible brain damage that would likely have kept her in the vegitative state for the rest of her life, but her brain wasn’t liquified. That’s just a sensationalistic phrase that the people that wanted her dead used to try to make it seem barbaric that anybody could even consider keeping her alive.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 8:08pmWhen I was young my mother had this disease. Back then the care wasn’t so strict. We kept her at home and cared for her there. She later told me about the comatose state that she had slipped into. One day while still comatose, she got up and began painting a picture on the hall wall. We would put the brushes in her hand and set the paint cans in a large pan at her feet. She painted for twelve days. When she apparently finished, she lay back down and slept for a day afterwhich she began recovery. She lived until 2001. The painting was still on the wall when we sold the house in 2002. So what I’m saying is that the mind is active whether it seems so or not. And can overcome and reach heights when all is considered lost. Because there’s always hope. There‘s always something shining in our mind even when we’re not aware of it ourselves.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 7:52pmI find it funny that the doctor said he’s never heard of anything like this. I’m not even a doctor and I have. If you go back to the movie “Awakenings” with Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro based on a true story, you see a case of the exact same thing described as they are doing a walk-thru of the patients with Williams. So did someone make it up back in the ’90s for a movie, or was the movie character based on an earlier diagnosis of someone with that disorder? I’m thinking the latter.

Report Post »The whole thing with Terri Shiavo was just heart wrenching. I was caring for my son who was in a coma at the time and was petrified that if something happened to me my son would be starved to death. My son came out of his coma after 13 months. If was a long road for him and tons of work. While he was in his coma I tried to include him in everything, took him shopping and fishing. sang and played music, bible studies. My son died less than a year ago. He lived 7 years after his accident. The physical work he did while rehabbing was grueling for us both. He was a quad, but at the end he was able to stand and reach for things and even take a few steps to help get in and out of his chair.Point being-never give up. When he woke up, he knew all the words to the songs that came out while he was in a coma. He even remembered therapist that worked with him by name. With Obama care my son would never have had another chance to tell his twin sister how much he loved her.I cry for all the parents who will never have the time with thier child I had with mine because it is not good for the collective according to Obama and his commie friends.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 5:49pm@SgtB: You apparently didn’t research enough: Terri Shiavo’s husband did not sign a “do not resuscitate” order. He signed an “allow to starve to death” order. There is a big difference between a coma (no consciousness) & a vegetative state (no apparent responsiveness). Her husband was awarded millions of dollars for the rehabilitation & long-term care of his wife. He did provide the care for 3 years, but he didn’t provide the rehabilitation which could have helped Terri to recover in some fashion. He was awarded the money with the idea that she could live for decades, yet after a mere 3 years, he decided she needed to die which was when he conveniently remembered the conversation they had all alone one night. Because we do not understand how the brain functions, the recovery is rare & protracted. There were former “vegetative state” patients who finally recovered after many years (3-15+) who stated that they were aware of their condition & surroundings but could not communicate.
Report Post »Getting married doesn’t automatically entitle a husband to make decisions for the wife, nor does it make them a single “legal entity”. If that were the case, there would be no separate tax filings for married couples, no wills drawn up for the disposition of property (the surviving spouse would automatically be “owner”), no power of attorney or living wills, & should a husband decide to go on a killing spree, the wife would be equally as culpable as her husband.
SgtB
Posted on February 22, 2012 at 10:19pmWell, apparently you choose for your marriage to mean nothing. As for the thought that a man and wife are not the same legal entity, just research spousal privilege. And your comparing a member of a union going on a killing spree is a marked departure from the case of incapacitation of a spouse for a decade.
Oh, and BTW, my wife knows that after a year of me being on any kind of life support while I am not able to speak for myself or make my intentions know, that she has all final say in how the situation should be handled and my wishes. My family also knows this. If you don’t talk about your wishes, that is your problem. But for me, I love my wife enough to not dictate that she should take upon herself the added burden of taking care of me while I rot away and stall her life because I am not a self-centered person and I love her enough to want to her to have a full life.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 4:41pmIt’s called muscle memory. When you repeat a motion often enough the commands to the muscles move from the brain to the brain stem and spinal cord. For instance breathing, you don’t think about it but you do. If you wish you can make a conscious effort to breath or forget about it and you breath just fine. It is also the reason why it becomes more difficult to learn a new sport as one gets older because it becomes more difficult to train in that muscle memory.
Does Tiger wood think head down, address the ball, smooth back swing, follow through. No he hits the golf ball and his muscle memory takes care of the mechanics.

Also, do you understand that a marriage contract turns two physical persons into a single legal entity or legal fiction? Terry Schaivo’s husband stayed with her for more than 3 years before even signing a do not resucitate order.
The reality is that Mr. Schaivo was legally and morally the voice of his wife while she was incapacitated. She never made any recovery and her body was finally taken off of life support more than a decade after her death.
There is an extremely large difference between a coma that last a couple months wherein the individual shows signs of higher brain function (shooting a ball or even just holding it) and a decade long coma with no signs of higher brain function. I’ve seen the videos and researched both sides of the Terry Schaivo case. She was brain dead. Not simply in a coma. Her body could have lived on for decades and she would have never recovered. It is only because of modern medicine that we can keep a person alive on IV drips and forced feeding. Keeping her body alive for a decade was immoral and wrong.
