Default 19-year coma

Pretty amazing.

I can only imagine the emotion in this family right now. What a wonderful story. The closest thing to life after death.

Pretty crazy that the wife rotated him every hour for 19 years straight. That said, if I woke up after 19 years in a coma I'd probably freak out and kill myself.

I just read this on Yahoo Clarkie, pretty cool stuff. That's awesome his wife stuck with him all those years too.

I can only imagine how freaked out this guy must feel though. I guess in a situation like this though, thank God it sounds like he has a very loving family to get him through what will probably end up being the hardest time of all... adjusting.

Hopefully the last clothes he bought weren't all pastel.

I mean, it's like I can't imagine him not bawling on a daily basis for the forseeable future.

There's probably too few cases to have some real statistical evidence, but I wonder what kind of depression, even suicide, rate there is on people like him.

I mean, at least he has the stability of wife and family. What about the people who wake up and have nothing?

KENT BROCKMAN: At Springfield Memorial, I interviewed a man who has just emerged from a 20-year long coma.

MAN IN HOSPITAL BED: (sitting up, smiling) Whatever happened to those two goofballs, Sonny and Cher?

KENT BROCKMAN: Actually, she's now an Acacedy Award-winning actress. And he's a congressman.

MAN IN HOSPITAL BED: (lapses back into coma)
