My mother in law is not responding to anyone, the only things she does it open her eyes for a short period of time. The doctors can not find out whats working with her she breaths on her own, but is on a feeding tube. The doctors say she's not going to get any better. They give us 2 choices - long term care at a nursing home or let her go home and let nature take it course. Should we get another opinion, because of them not knowing what happened to her?

My dad is a dialysis patient he's 70 yaers old. HE went for heart surgery and after 3 days he hasn't waken up. All his vitals are fine and the surgery was a success exept for the obvious. Doctors say be patient. Will he wake up? No brain damage was detected.
