Remarkable...and somehow information about 9/11 got through to her while in the coma. According to the evening news, she knew about OKC as well. She is 30 miles from where I live, so the news has had a lot about this lately.

So... a lady who was in a coma for 20 years has better mental reception than the average leftist.

Absolutely amazing. What a wonderful story. Shows how little we really know about coma patients. I'll bet, when asked, she will be glad to respond that she is pleased no one decided to end her 'misery' for her, especially by slowly starving her to death.

It's so much better to err on the side of life. She might not ever be 'completely normal'. But she will hopefully have continued improvement going forward!
8mmMauser--I don't know the whole ping list, but thought you might want to pass this on!

Let this be a lesson to those who would starve, pull the plug, inject too much morphine etc. to rid themselves of those considered worthless eaters. This woman is so fortunate she wasn't the victim of the courts.

Thank goodness she's lived to tell of her ordeal. Remember this case, and insist on humane treatment for patients even when the medicos say "They're a slab of meat."

I know from personal experience that coma patients are aware. Some smart-a** doctor wanted to pull the plug on my dad. My Mom told him where to get off.
Months later, afeter my dad recovered, the doc's name came up in conversation. Dad said, "Oh, yeah. He's the one who wanted to kill me"...
So much for coma patients being unaware.

The left says it is a "quality of life" issue. That they are imprisoned in their heads.
Never hear the left urging the death penalty as being compasionate over keeping someone locked up in prison for multiple life sentences.

Indeed...that's the sort of thing that needs to be cut/pasted/sent-to-all-in-address books.
