Dude Awakens From Coma After 20 Years

This shit is miraculous. Dude had a car accident years ago. Car went 50ft over a stone bridge. Brain damage, vegetable for 20 years. His parents never gave up. The talked and touched him and did everything to bring him around. Then the other day he responded. Scientists say his brain rerouted and regrew new pathways!

Here all this time the experts thought he was veggiesaurus and he turns out to be able to regain some semblance of his personality. I wonder if they shot him up with stem cells would his brain tissue fully grow back.

welcome to about 4? years ago..

mannn, if that ever happened to me i wouldnt want to live...

and miss 20 years of my life sitting in bed with my brain? :\

i told my family if i ever have a coma or something and it doesn't look like im gonna come out, to pull the plug, i don't wanna live like that, and i don't wanna leave them with HUGE doctor bills

Sucks for him, I wouldn't want to be kept alive like that.

Sheesh... amazing story!!!

I dont think he just awoken, but he's been improving after all this time...his brain cells have been growing all this time..

It's amazing how powerfull can be human health.

If this guy can reach a state of communication he's got some story to tell. He writes a book he'll make some great dough. Actually the parents' story is worthy of accolade. How many of you would have stuck it through? How many of you have loved ones that would stick it through for you?

The parents should be given the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I second that

That story IS like 4 - 5 years old. Funny how it comes out again yesterday with a Terri Schiavo twist. I hate the media.

you would still find a way to post :1orglaugh

Just amazing

wtf?? thats a miracle! good for him.. hope for faster improvement..

wait till he see the doctor bills. he will want to kill himself afterwards

According to the story he has amnesia of the past 19 years but recalls his life prior to his accident. What science has to look at is why it took so long for the nerves to regrow new pathways when they should have done so faster. Perhaps in future cases stem cells can be introduced to the damaged nerve network to speed and repair the process.

amazing...i wouldve given up if i was in his situation.

yea hell never be the same

it's amazing how powerfull can be all your base are belong to us... :1orglaugh

wtf lol :1orglaugh
