46:23Now PlayingAfter fainting at home, 22 year old Michael Skolnik was told he needed to soon undergo brain surgery to save his life. But after a botched procedure, Michael would spend the next 32 months in a vegetative state before passing away. It was only after this medical error when his family would discover the big secret his neurosurgeon was holding.
