this training exercise at salford royal shows how the medical team check for brain death.en we shine a light in her eyes. there is no corneal reflex. just going to see if she coughs when we do suction on her lungs. it is rare to see this procedure even simulated. over 30 minutes, the doctors perform a series of tests, searching for any sign of life. we have done the tests now and i'm really sorry, i'm afraid vicky has died. at this point families are given time alone. only one in a hundred people who die are able to be donors. death needs to happen in hospital and usually in intensive care. vicky is in a position today where she could help to save other people's lives through organ donation. fewer than half of families agree to donation if they are unaware of a deceased relative's views. she is 18, why would we talk about this? nine in ten agree where they know it is what was wanted. we naturally shy away from talking about death, but i would advise everyone to have that conversation, tonight, when you are sitting down over dinner. it seems an odd conversation to have, but
