Are the brain-dead patients donors given sleeping pills to make sure they are really dead with no chance of ever regaining conscience consciousness?

I've been there before and was quite amazed. You can pick and choose componeonts from different stores and they would assemble it there for you. They even do it for phones! Want a knockoff dualband unlocked qwerty slider phone with android OS, bluetooth, 4g, wifi, plus an antenna to receive over-the-air radio and tv signals? SURE we can do that, which phone frame do you want?

It's 10 levels of shops like this. I tried to brag to the girl on the counter saying that I know how to build a computer from scratch. She said "yea, so does everyone here." Damn overachievers.

From Wikipedia

Zolpidem may provide short-lasting but effective improvement in symptoms of aphasia present in some survivors of stroke. The mechanism for improvement in these cases remains unexplained and is the focus of current research by several groups, to explain how a drug which acts as a hypnotic-sedative in people with normal brain function, can paradoxically increase speech ability in people recovering from severe brain injury. Use of zolpidem for this application remains experimental at this time, and is not officially approved by any pharmaceutical manufacturers of zolpidem or medical regulatory agencies worldwide.[67][68][69][70][71] Zolpidem is being studied to determine if zolpidem is associated with improved responsiveness or regional cerebral perfusion in patients with persistent vegetative states(coma).[72][73]
