Man who was in "Coma" for 23 years, was awake the whole time.

Just wow, i can't even begin to imagine what that must be like... just dear lord.
Any thoughts on this perhaps?

Just saw this, must be terrifying. And also, how could you manage it without going completely insane? Surely madlibs wouldn't keep you that occupied?

 

[Pimppeter2]

That is fucking insane.......

..... I could not even begin to immagine

 

[Poomanchu745]

Wow thats awful. I think I would rather die then be conscious like that and not be able to do anything while everyone thinks you are asleep...

 

[Lord George]

Damn here I was hoping if I went into a coma I'd be transported back to a quaint vision of 70's Manchester. But instead you just seem to experience some form of hell.

Wonder how much ammunition this is going to give the anti-euthanasia crowd wonderful ¬_¬

 

[Contun]

Reminds me of Johnny got his Gun.
This would be so creepy...

 

[HardRockSamurai]

Yikes! This is fucked up!

What's even more surprising is that it looks like the guy isn't really holding a grudge. Just goes to show you how important life really is....

[small]Waitaminute! Was I just being sentimental on an internet forum???[/small]

 

[Chaossebba]

Well, jezus... 23 years. I haven't even lived that long yet, so i'm still abit... well amazed.

 

[Fbuh]

Good lord, he must have been bored out of his mind.

 

[Omikron009]

I truly can't imagine a worse form of hell. Honestly, I would have gone batshit crazy by the time people found out I was actually conscious.

 

[Deleted]

That's terrible, I couldn't begin to imagine what it was like.

 

[Froobyx]

Poor guy

I imagine he would've been so bored of life not being able to communicate to tell people he was actually awake.

 

[sgtshock]

Jesus Christ. I can't imagine what must have been going through his mind, or how happy he must have been when people realized he was awake. That poor, poor guy.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Holy shit. I can't imagine how scary that must have been.

 

[necromanzer52]

Wow. I would probably go completely insane within a month if that hapenned to me.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Now thats commitment

 

[Kellerb]

...good lord.

 

[tmujir955]

23 years of lying on a bed...

Oh man, thats horrible.
