He paused, seemingly at a loss for better words to explain Jackson’s situation in a less impactful manner.

“Doctor, be frank with me. As a fellow doctor, I’m ready for what’s awaiting me.”

Sighing, the doctor stated, “There’s a huge probability he’s going to turn into a vegetative patient because his carotid artery has been severely damaged.”
