I am watching #ChicagoMed. The paramedics bring in patients and tell the doctors GCS and a number. I am curious what that means.

@fredcThe Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is used to objectively describe the extent of impaired consciousness in all types of acute medical and trauma patients. The scale assesses patients according to three aspects of responsiveness: eye-opening, motor, and verbal responses.@jikodesu
@Charlobo thanks. Checking it our on Wikipedia. So a high number is more responsive that lower number. @jikodesu
