They say she'll survive and mention nothing of her being brain dead. Max leaves her.
shareI think they said she was salvageable as in spare body parts organs (she was on life support), but clinically dead.

The wife was dead or clinicaly dead.
Jesse *was* dead.
shareI think it was weird how the Dr. told the nurse to tell Max that she was going to be OK when he knew she was dead. A Dr. would NEVER do that now days. That could get you into all kinds of trouble: lying to a family member that someone isn't actually dead.

Yeah, and nowadays a cop would never justify a rape by calling the victim "the town bike." Right?
shareI watched the movie last night...one doctor clearly says..."we got her vitals back last night" SO she was alive...might have brain damage but she was alive and Max did leave her behind it seems.
shareWell, she'd need to be on life support to stay alive. With the collapse of civilization, she'd not get that and die regardless.
shareHe didn't "leave" her, he went and killed the men who hurt her and killed his son.
She dies later because you see the two crosses at the beginning of The Road Warrior. SO, no he never "leaves" her in that sense.

At the beginning of Road Warrior in the prologue you see Max walking away from two graves with crosses, implying he buried his wife and kid.
