No wonder I get confused when people say they are seeing a pdoc -
This is the Official Dictionary meaning/ definition of PDOC:
"Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness (PDOC) What is a Prolonged Disorder of Consciousness? A disorder of consciousness, or impaired consciousness, is a state where consciousness has been affected by damage to the brain. This could be as a result of a traumatic brain injury, stroke or other cause of damage to the brain"
I know that people are referring to a Medical Doctor - yet the usual/ official definition is "Prolonged Disorder of Consciousness" (caused by brain injury).
