E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes spontaneously, talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: withdraws the limb from pressure (normal flexion). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.
