Man Awakens After 12 Years in a “Vegetative State,” Says “I Was Aware of Everything”

[Still Benefited]

Pretty much this...If he was a vegetable I would assume there was literally no brain activity...If he had "locked in syndrome" wouldn't there have been some brain activity that was easily measurable?



It would be a cool mini series on Fox.....fwiw

That's measuring brain activity with what humans understand as brain activity though...Being that nobody knows what happens after you die it aint no telling if your conscious/spirit is still in your body when they put you in the ground or not.

Real talk... if I was in a coma for that long... Id be thinking about one thing when I woke up. Revenge

thought you was gonna say p*ssy or some shyt. nikkas outchea like shredder in ninja turtles II

 

[Camammal]

Imagine the mental discipline he has. He can probably go into deep meditation instantaneously...12 years of being forced to calm the mind from driving him insane. Bet he had countless lucid dreams

not that i would want that

All the videos I see, he's in a wheelchair and speaks using a computer. Does anyone know his physical limitations? and is he actively in therapy to regain those abilities?

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

and the doctors were wrong.........again

So if you feel like something's really wrong with you, are you going to the hospital to see a doctor or not?

Obviously we don't know everything about the human body yet, but they're still your best bet.

how much was his hospital bill?

12 Years a Vegetable

A film in the making??

 

[EndDomination]

That's hell.




You can't come back from something like that, in spite of forgiveness. As for disengaging from the voices in his head, the article doesn't describe why there were voices there in the first place. Was he schizophrenic while he was locked in?

And did he hate Barney because he hated Barney or because it was the cool thing to do to hate Barney (for a kid his age)? What did he like?

He hated Barney because he was a teenager and was forced to watch reruns of the show

We all need to be more grateful. But dude should have straight up slapped his moms with his first new arm motion.

I suffer from sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, and sleep walking. That shyt is scary enough once you come to reality. Aint nothing like dreaming, then waking up present in another dream, then waking up for real but you can't move

peep the lucid dreaming/hallucination/meditation thread

Like dude said, try The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Or, since this is a hip hop forum, try:
