Maybe "Man votes for Obama while in a coma, then requests doctors remove Christmas tree from his room because its religiouly insensitive" but its a 5* and pin from me :) |

Nexus-9 User ID: 26826431 United States 11/13/2012 08:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Back in 2010, neuroscientists confirmed that it was possible to communicate with some patients locked in a vegetative state by using an fMRI scanner. Though limited, the breakthrough suggested that more meaningful dialogue with patients in a coma could someday be possible. And now, two years later, it has finally happened. A Canadian man in a vegetative state has used his thoughts to tell scientists that he is not in any pain, marking the first time a patient in such a condition has relayed information relevant to their care.

Quoting: Mordier L'eft [link to io9.com] This isnt all comas, People should not be afraid, Most people in comas are sleeping. I knew a few and they have no memories of their state. And I was in a two week coma myself, It was like going to sleep and then waking up. I have no recall, no memories, nothing of those two weeks that was like two seconds to me. This will make many people paranoid and scared than need be. |
