Says who?
Neuro injuries are never defined until the patient is fully awake, and off sedation. Prognostication in a still sedated patient is nothing short of fully pointless, and is 100% an assumption.
He had an epidural hematoma, they are frequently fatal without immediate interventions, he's had a number of surgeries, and is still listed as "critical" due to the fact that he may re-bleed at any point. This is purely a waiting game and a very precise balance of sedation, brain rest, and necessary surgical intervention.
He may wake up fine, he may die. It will be two or three weeks before we know fully. Until he is weaned off sedation, there is little point in speculating anything.
