Is there a time limit before they pull the plug?
GHANSHYAM0
I have heard that while in full consciousness
ForDaSchwinn
Being in a coma for that long could put the family in financial turmoil. Maybe passing away was more helpful then him staying alive.

I'm glad Hussain is so chill with it
abundantbadgers
I remember this one from RadioLab. It's sad, but that burden for twelve years... It'll change a person.

Was it in an "I hope you end suffering like this" way? …No, right?

You know he's pissed when he woke up and Half life 3 wasn't out.

How this is possible? Are the insurances paying in such case?

So he probably also heard: "My name's Buck..."

Check out the book "ghost boy"

MiasmaCorrigan
The article for that gave me mixed feelings. Like part of the reason he woke up is because he hated Barney the Dinosaur. It's interesting.

That was overshadowed by his memory of Buck though.
BrokenAnimal
I was put in a medically induced coma for a week some years back (Swine flu + Severe Pneumonia). My experience was that of being put... -->
BrokenAnimal
...to sleep, and then immediately waking up (which, granted took a couple of days). I had no idea of the time that had passed. -->
BrokenAnimal
Could have been minutes or it could have been months. I would have believed either at face value.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
He was in a coma then catatonic with locked in syndrome. I read his book ghost boy
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
His ted talk is insightful https://youtu.be/WD1IX1AFRZg
LaughingSeraphim
this is as close to empathy as females get
Wolf0080
Maybe he was just a POS human before the coma.
TinySatanHelper
I think there is waaayyy more to this story.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
There's a book. Ghost boy. He was in a coma then catatonic with locked in syndrome and a fully functional brain but unable to communicate
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
That he was alive inside. His ted talk > https://youtu.be/WD1IX1AFRZg
supersmashsisters
Dope gonna watch that now!
PorcupinePajamas

Demicol
There's a book written by a man with locked-in-syndrome, he could hear everything but his body was paralyzed accept for his eyes which 1/2

Not possible
ThePrimrose
Actually happened and he totally understood where his mother was coming from.
Capsulex21
You should read the article, he was abused by a nurse too. Some pretty f'd up stuff
CosmicNihilism
Very possibl
GirthyWeiner
12 years and thats all the beard he grow? do nurses shave you and shit?
MiasmaCorrigan
I think for a majority of it they cared for him at home, but I'm going to find the article to see.
LooseWomen
I wouldn't want them to shave me. Then I can sit right up and "shout what year is it" and become a real life meme
hyperinthediaper
As a matter of fact yes. They shave you, clean you, etc.
MyUsernameIsMyPassword
Ect? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
GrinchyGrinchy111

kyris

bigassdolphin
Can you help me stretch my hamstrings?
GrinchyGrinchy111
Im a dude but sure
bigassdolphin
You're a nurse. don't care what gender you are as long as I'm cared for.
DeviatedPrevert
i mean, i think we all know the hardest part about being in a coma is being itchy all the time and not being able to scratch it, right?
CraftedLine
Now that space between my nuts and leg itches.

I'd be hoping for death too if I was in a coma for 12 years. Fuck that.
CouchCarrot
WHAT?! WHY?! 12 years really isn't that long.
BeerWizzard
If I recall, dude had locked in syndrome. So he was still conscious, and mentally there he just couldn't move his body.
Linhtendo
damn wouldnt you go insane after 12 years in your head?
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
He was catatonic after that

Just randomly enter a hospital, find an empty bed, lay down and keep screaming "Unplug me". Curious what will happen....
BewilderedBeaver
You will be sent to another hospital and get plugged in.
