Medically induced coma is more akin to normal sleep just perpetual. Injury caused coma is a result of your brain matter being damaged, which causes parts of it to turn off so that they can repair. It can range from being indistinguishable from medical coma to the person having an elevated or even partial awareness of their surroundings.
