Not bad, just misunderstood
Article Abstract:
Neuroscience professionals can rely on the Glasgow Coma Scale to adequately convey the neurological state of a patient, together with the results of other assessment tools, so ensuring all those involved in an individual's care can make clear assessments. The system is easy to use, widely understood and is suitable for a multi-disciplinary medical team. The use of the Lowry Coma Scale would not be so effective if it was introduced on a national scale.
