Hii Scruffycat

It stands for Glasgow Coma Scale and the lower on the scale the lower conscious state

I hope you are impressed with this answer because I am no genius----I Googled it and

there are a lot more facts stated.

Although there are masses of facts on various 'illnesses' I sometimes think they can

cause worry for nothing so try not to look too deeply into things

Keep alive and smiling Cheers Tedjohnson

I meant to google this as well but got sidetracked! Very interesting answer. It's always

an eye opener when looking for information, a double edged sword!

Hi Scruffycat

Aggree with others. Didn't know what CGS was, but looking at the internet can be very frightening and normally only states the worst case scenario, Even if you buy pills such as aspirin, it states the worst case scenario. i,e can cause death. So dont believe everything you read. enyoy life to the full. You are a long time dead.
