short: a Man suffered a car acident 23 years ago and was though to be in a coma... except he wasn't he was paralysed, but conscious the whole time.



god... just thinking of it for stay like for a few days, much less a lifetime... I don't even want to start to think about it.

Well, that's horrifying.

Man I am surprised he didn't go insane over all that time.

and what makes you think he din't? I mean, he can't be completely sane for sure >.<

I just read that story. Man 23 years. I'm glad that his parents didn't give up on the guy. It was their continue search that lead to this discovery.

There is only "one" video that is worthy of this post...

The only thing that article seems to discount (and even not that entirely) is the detailed words. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that he has a normally functioning brain in the article...just whether he said what he supposedly said.

Well, I wouldn't say normally functioning is necessarily true, but yes, this casts doubts on what he presumably said. That's the only window we have into his experiences, though, so it is a big doubt to cast.
