Only tangentially related, but reminded me of this anecdote…
I know someone who was a nurse for many years. She told me that once she had a patient, a young man who had been comatose for months. Her and another nurse were changing the bedsheets when they accidentally dropped him, and his head smacked into the bed frame, quite hard. He immediately woke up from the coma.

- missedthecue 2y agoReminds me of Janusz Goraj, the the man from Poland who was blind for decades until he was hit by a car while crossing the street, slammed his head against pavement, and was instantly cured.
- kranner 2y agoApparently it could have been "the large doses of anticoagulants mixed with other medicines" while he was being treated for his injuries that cured his blindness, according to this article: https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/ureport/article/2001358795/man-blind-for-20-years-regains-sight-after-being-hit-by-car-at-zebra-crossing https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/ureport/article/2001358795/m...
