He told quite a funny anecdote about how the doctors would do their rounds in the morning and check on him and notice that his eyes were red. For months they tried to work out what was causing it, trying every treatment in the book for every eye condition they could think of, to no avail. What he couldn't tell them was just before their visit every morning, a nurse wiped his face with a soapy washcloth and got soap in his eyes.

There was a story on tv about a coma patient who woke up years later and told his family he hated them. He had heard all the horrible things they said about him and him in the coma and how if he died the insurance money could be split. The only one who truly loved him was his baby sister who was only 15 when he went into the coma. The only reason he was alive was because the sister would freak out on them every time they spoke about pulling the plug. I think the ending was he left and never spoke to them again and took the baby sister with him. If that’s true story that’s just sad.

@@perfectlyimperfect2368 "First, God is ONE GOD who can divide himself up into THREE. On that we agree. But, I believe that those three can be called three "persons". On that we don't agree. It's clear to me that the reason you disagree is because YOU define the word "person" as only applying to one single individual. You can do that. Help yourself! Now, you begin by running to the dictionary to do so and make your point. Yet, you don't give the definition of the other word "TRIUNE" in the same dictionary, which states... "TRI'UNE, adjective [Latin tres and unus.] Three in one; an epithet applied to God, to express the unity of the Godhead IN A TRINITY OF PERSONS." Even the DICTIONARY ITSELF says that God (THE GODHEAD) can be a "trinity" of PERSONS (plural). He can be ONE UNION and still can exist in three separate persons! Will you accept THAT dictionary definition? If not, then you can't try to prove your point from the first definition you gave. For you'd be denying another dictionary definition on this very subject, and that, then, would make your argument null and void!!! If you are going to use the dictionary to prove something, you have to use ALL the pertaining definitions to this subject. Will you do that, or IGNORE it? Second, we are made up of three, but yet we are one. You agree on that point. But, we can also have our three parts divided. For example, When I die, my soul goes to heaven. And, someone seeing me there for the first time could say: "Who's that PERSON?" While at the same time here on earth, someone looks in my casket and asks: "Who's that person?" Am I now two completely different Human Beings? Two Robert Breakers? Or am I the same Robert Breaker, but I'm just manifested as two different "Persons" in the eyes of others. One, in the Spirit world, and the other in the Physical World? No, I'm still ONE Robert Breaker. But, in that illustration, I would be manifesting in two different ways, and would be viewed as two separate "persons." My soul and spirit would be in heaven, while my body would be here on earth. How can you not get that??? The Dictionary shows it clearly! The Bible teaches it clearly! God is ONE GOD in three! And, those three are ONE! WE can call them PERSONS, as one is viewed as a FATHER, the other is viewed as a SON, and the other is viewed as the SPIRIT of both. That does NOT make three different gods! That's a ludicrous argument. Third, you quote: "God is no respecter of Persons." Clearly that is speaking about HUMAN BEINGS in the context of slavery and is not referring to God Himself and Him in three persons. You are TWISTING THAT VERSE OUT OF CONTEXT! That can NEVER lead to anything good! So, I suggest you stop following the heretical man you follow and get back into the BIBLE. Otherwise, you're going in a direction that I cannot follow! For you are departing from the SCRIPTURES and what they teach, as well as the DICTIONARY, and as well as what the TRUE CHURCH (not Catholicism) has believed for almost 2000 years. God is ONE GOD. He consists of three PARTS. God made man (Adam) in his image, and we also consist of three parts. We are TRI-PART beings, as is God. But, it's NOT WRONG to say that God can manifest in three separate "persons" and still be ONE GOD. I proved that from the BIBLE, from the DICTIONARY of the English Language, and from History. You can decide to deny ALL THREE if you like. But, I can't go along that path with you! I will be praying for you, though, that God will OPEN YOUR EYES to the truth! Sincerely, Robert Breaker " - He helps a lot to start to understanding the bible, but unless one can agree with him, one must read the whole bible themselves.

I left the room called my supervisor and reported the student nurse. He was removed from his duty. I returned to care for this patient after this brushing her letting know how sorry I was for what happened. After telling her this she she'd a single tear. I didn't realize her family was standing behind me as I was so intent on giving care. They were so happy to see this tear! Family and I started crying happy tears.

My daughter had just turned 17 when she had to have surgery for a growth around her pituitary gland. I won't bore you with the particulars of why she sustained injury and was then went into a coma. What I do want to say is that as she laid in her bed, could she hear my wife and I. She was one who never backed down from anything. When she set her mind to do something she just did it. She joined ROTC because she big brother had done so. She played the clarinet and flute even thou she had asthma (first chair in both). She was only 4 ft. and maybe 85 lbs. But she was a fireball. My younger daughter confided a story from her ROTC days. She was in charge of a squad and someone said "I can't see you". Her response was " you don't need to see me to hear me". That was Rose. weeks passed with no change, my wife and I stayed with her , one of us always at her side. Then one day we were at the cafeteria as the staff wanted to do some tests. As we were waiting a young girl in a wheelchair and her parents came in. The young girl was limp and thou her eyes were open there was no response. I kept watching her and I wanted so badly to ask her parents "can she hear you?' Or is she screaming inside "why can't you hear me?" "Why don't you help me?" I didn't have the courage to ask. That night my wife went to pray at the chapel. I stayed and talked to my daughter. I knew even if she opened her eyes she wouldn't want nothing short of being whole. Would she be able to hear and see me. While she screamed and pounded her hands against an invisible barrier she couldn't break out of. I talked to her and said "what ever you and God have decided it's fine by me. That night I know my daughter heard me, as a tear fell from her left eye. The next day the doctors said her organs were shutting down and hear heart stopped twice. She had taken the burden off of me that night. I never told my wife what had happened until many years later. I authorized her organs for donation if that is the right phrase to use. Her heart, liver, lungs , kidneys and pancreas were donated to others. She may not have lived to have children of her own but she is now the matriarch of her own family. One day my wife and I will meet her again and she will introduce us to her family. Sorry for being so long winded but maybe just maybe someone who benefited from her gifts or was born because of her is reading this. Love you Rose! Love Mom and Dad, big brother and little sister.

If he was young and badly enough hurt he could have been full vegetable *for a while* while his brain recovered, and twitches would have been twitches until something kicked his brain online. It all depends on the person and how often they test for function and what tests they use. There is a kid walking around with 10% of his brain + hindbrain, fully functional, because that's what he was born with and being neuroplastic his limited tissue could build a functioning brain. Corvids have the functional IQ of a 7 year old child? Why? Because their neurons are 3x denser than ours.

If you ask some of the patients that experienced this, the agony is the first few days or weeks or months adjusting to this. You really can’t tell how much time passes when you’re locked in. But after that, there’s no more fight. As in, it’s not agonizing and terrifying anymore. But I don’t think I’d even want to experience a second of it. I’d rather someone pull the cords.

I used to work in a subacute nursing home with patients in vegetable states. 100% they are still there, and it’s one of the most heartbreaking things ever. You can talk to them and see in their eyes they’re there, unable to speak back or move. One nurse thought it’d be funny to tell a patient her sister died until tears started coming out her eyes. Don’t ever leave your family in nursing homes.

Early in my RN career I treated a almost 18 yr old teenaged car accident victim on his way skiing- after a few days He awoke from a coma speaking fluent russian. He had been adopted at age 4 in Canada to english speaking American/Canadian parents. They spoke no russian. Unbelievably the russian language he had learned by age 4 was still in his brain. And he could speak both languages fluently although it baffled his parents. They had no idea the russian was still in him. He continued to get better ( he had severe leg fractures) and continued to speak both languages. One of the strangest cases I ever treated. Comas are strange.

She was happy when she heard her husband was moving into our facility, but he was very cold to her and wouldn't talk to her or even look at her and it kinda crushed her. It takes a long time to be able to interpret her very limited physical signs but they tell a story who is in a lot of emotional and physical pain.

This stuff scares me. Especially being under for a surgery but not being given the paid meds so you can see and feel everything.

A man who had 'locked in syndrome' wrote about it and how he couldn't move and how deadly the nights were at the hospital because he couldn't swallow, so he could breath. That the nurses weren't there to suction out his mucus sitting in his throat at night! Each night he would pray he could hang on until the morning shift came in so he could breath. I think they were going to donate his organs when a doctor came in who suspected locked in syndrome. The doc asked him to move his eyes but he tried and couldn't, then the doc took his hand and told him to squeeze it. The guy tried with everything he had and barely twitched but it was something, and the doc said the guy was in there! I don't recall the whole story but physical therapy was in there to reconnect the motor skill with the brain. It had to be terrifying! Glory to God that he was found out in time!5

This exact thing happened to my son when he was 18. Found him in the bathroom floor a week before Christmas in 2011. He was in a coma for 3 weeks.

"We'll need more testing but also here's a bunch of promises" - peak fiction.

This really does happen. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a movie about a man who actually had locked-in syndrome. Doctors thought I had another form of this. Turns out I have a rare disease that puts me into periodic paralysis. It's called Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis. I can tell you that when I collapse it's frightening because you don't know how paramedics, doctors, and nurses are going to handle you... I am fully conscious and know exactly what's going on but I look comatose. It lasts for hours... even days at times. My body will go into a seizure followed by parlaysis. It's not epilepsy, it's the muscles going into shut down as the body jerks about pretty hard. It's still not fully understood by medical people. That's the frightening part. It limits my life in so many ways. I was left undiagnosed for many years until a genious doctor in Sanfrancisco knew instantly what I had. This clip hits a frightening core with me knowing there are people who have locked-in syndrome and medical people don't even realize it. Even worse... how many people have had their life support removed and they knew it was happening. It's horrifying to think about. Medical machines cannot read a person's consciousness... I believe the body can shut down to such a low level that machines cannot properly evaluate the state of a person in a coma. Doctors and even specialists don't know everything. Even with this rare disease, my neuromuscular doctor doesn't fully grasp how this disease affects me because they're not there all the time seeing what happens. I've learned how to live with it and keep myself as safe as I can. To look at me you would never know... until I collapse. I'm glad there is an episode showing this particular condition. It may be very helpful for someone or even medical people to be aware that this could be a possibillity.

Oh, I left a comment above telling of my experience. What you talk about sounds similar to what I deal with. It took decades to get a diagnosis. I will collapse, go into what looks like a seizure, where my body, muscles are jerking about, then my body shuts down into paralysis. I am conscious, but I cannot move. It's frightening. Doctors were baffled and even dismissed it as psychological, which greatly angered me knowing full well it's not! I finally had a genius doctor in Sanfrancisco give me the answer. Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis. The paralysis will last for hours, and at worse, even days. It's a very rare disease, but there are ways of dealing with it. It is not curable. Look it up and see if it possibly looks like a match for you then ask your doctor to look into it for you. I requested a neuromuscular doctor who did an extensive nerve conduction test... 2 hours of exercising a muscle... it was conclusive. Another test is the yucky glucose drink... which can blow your system out fast... Sugar is bad for this disease bringing on an episode very quickly. There's a lot to know about it, but investigate it. It may be a helpful clue for you. Good luck.

Locked in Syndrome is real and rare. A famous French fashion editor by the name of Jean-Dominique Bauby had a stroke at 43 and got locked in. There's a bio-pic about him and his experience called the Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Great film and encouraging message.

That's why as a healthcare practitioner, showing empathy is so important. It's better to watch what one says around unconscious patients. They may be able to hear. I remember seeing an unconscious patient who would always move her fingers each time her mum sang a particular song.

Umm, that would be awful! I heard a coma story, perhaps apocryphal... Person went into a coma at a concert, years later, the same song or musician was played, and they awoke! Also, Zolpidem for temporary awakening from coma is amazing!

Wishing him a good morning every day, made him really active. Same with another patient. The machines told me he knew, who was here, his breathing changed, his heartbeat changed. When I shaved him, he tried to move his head to comply. I told him, that I think he is awake, and he started to cry. But the docs: He's comatuous. No, he is locked in. A neighbour once was said to be in coma. After waking up, he told the nurses what they had done or said. He just felt like being not in control of his brain, that's how he described it.

My $0.02: unfortunately even in this time and age, standard measurements taken for EKG are done via electric sensors: these capture electric signals sent throughout the nervous system by the brain and their feedback. In these medical cases the damage to the brain stem and/or cerebellum does not allow for signals to pass through in sufficient meaningful levels if at all, resembling brain death or lack of functions and - to the untrained eye - resemble coma. Only these tests occasionally work (e.g. vertical eye movement, adrenaline/dopamine abrupt level shifts): when locked in gets in thesis or diagnosed usually more invasive yet precise nerve probing follow (e.g, cathodes insertions), eMRIs, Magneto Acousto Electrical Tomography with magnetic induction for conductivity reconstruction related tests to capture and understand the damage and its location and map functional areas amidst the damage. The good news is that lately medicine is advancing rapidly to the point that soon we will be able to shunt and create nervous bypasses, and eventually resume connections that were previously broken actively improving prognosis on locked in/semi paralyzed and paraplegic patients

About 40 years ago, I experienced two episodes of sleep paralysis in one night. You wake up, but can’t move - at all. It only lasts a few moments, but it feels like an eternity. The first episode was terrifying, as I had never experienced it before. The second time was unsettling, but I knew it would pass, so not so frightening. I’ve never had another episode since. I can’t imagine 5 years in such a state of existence.

I became terrified because I was told I was just being put asleep. I could see and put my whole force into trying to move a toe and it felt I ternary like I moved but I could see it didn't move. I tried to move my eyes in Morse code but no one was looking at me. I did not know if something had gone wrong or if they were going to do things to me that hurt that I should be asleep for. The panic was terrible. Finally I realized I had absolutely no power. I told myself "say your prayers and go to sleep" and I tried to sleep. The next thing I woke up intubated hours later. I at first couldn't tell I wasn't paralyzed anymore because my wrists were tied to bed with foam mitts over my hands and when your on a vent it feels like you cant breathe at first because you actually aren't breathing, you are just getting air. I was able to blink SOS but no one noticed. They stood talking at me and I kept moving my hand. The one female Dr. took mitt off abd I knew the alphabet in ASL so I started to spell. None of the 4 other Dr's surrounding me caught it but she started spelling what I signed. Suddenly the other Dr brought me a pen and paper. I tried to talk abput being locked in during the treatment but they kept telling me it wasn't true. Then suddenly she realized what I meant. "He means from the Rocoronium! For some reason the ketamine didn't work right away even though it was only given seconds later." After that they made sure I was well snowed with opiods and tranks lol until I got of the vent a couple days later. I was awake and somewhat mobile but in hospital for a wk and yet all I could think about was those 5 minutes I was paralyzed. It was all I could talk about and would tell any nurse or staff person who would hear me. Finally one (I think a social worker) explained to me that I was traumatized and probably needed to tell people due to that and that was OK it would probably take up less space in my brain after some time but if it hadn't in 3 mos I should seek help from a psychologist. Even after I got out it was something I talked about for weeks. It seemed like the most significant thing that had happened to me there ; but only to me. I later learned on a internet forum for nurse n Dr anesthesiologists that it was the reversal of order in which protocol drugs are given to patients with sleep apnea. Someone explained a post to studebts saying if they have apnea to do it that way. A student response question was wouldn't it cause psychic trauma? The author replied with math saying the chances were less than 3% there'd be consciousness for a few min and if so the patient would never remember. I wrote a reply saying how it happened to me. I won't suggest they warn people the possibility when they do it,because that might create more fear, but I do think they should say after they think you're out "if you can't hear me don't worry it can take a few minutes for the tranq to hit you you'll be out soon." I mean if they are intentionally pushing the Rocoronium before the Ketamine, they should at least say that. Anyway sorry so long the point being being locked in for 5 min was among the most traumatizing experiences of my life, and I have serious trauma, assaults, childhood abuse; etc that I've later been diagnosed with PTSD for. But just 5 min of this was enough to put it on that level of trauma for months.

I know what this is like from a very different cause. When I was around 29/30 yrs. old I got red tide poisoning from eating muscles on a beach that had not been posted. I spent several days in the hospital. Red tide poisoning acts like curare. Your mind is clear. You can hear everything going on around you. Every conversation. While they discussed my chances for survival, I heard. You cannot blink. you cannot move ANYTHING. you cannot make a sound. You cannot respond in any way to let them know you are there. Inside my head I was screaming, trying to let them know, but not a twitch. Machines are keeping you breathing (your heart, lungs and other organs can shut down). The third or fourth day (lost track) I started to come back but it took many weeks to control any of my body movements and learn to walk again. Horrible experience. I'm 70 years now and never ever forgot that feeling of helplessness.

Dang, dude! Sounds like a Stephen King short story.

When they told her to move her eyes right to left, why wouldn’t she just move them how ever she could move them 😑

She probably wasn't aware that her eyes weren't moving. She would have thought they were moving even though the doctors said they weren’t.

They wanted to ascertain that she could not only move them (and, thus be a mere twitch) but that she was cognizant of what was happening.

Saaaame thing I thought. Like i mean is this the time to be so literal?? One chance in 5 years to prove ur conscious, come on!!!

"She heard me saying 'wont you just die, and let us live our lives? You're alive, but you're not living; yet you're killing us! Just die already! DIE! DIE!'?" "Yes ma'm. My years of experience allow me to state, unequivocally, she heard you."

I remember after my knee surgery, my 3rd day post op, I was literally paralyzed from the pain. Nothing compared to this, but I know to some extent what it's like to be trapped in your own body.

I had a colon ruption and was suffering from a heavy sepsis, so I was I put into an induced coma for 20 days. During that time I had extreme halucinations. I also suffered from CIP, where the docs weren't sure if my brain was affected. so when I was woken up, I was paralized from neck down, but I could follow orders to move my eyes, and my tongue. The following days were very hard, because I couldn't move, nor talk, and care takes didn't always check, looking in my face, to see if I was awake or listening. It got better over time, and I almost fully recover. But the time in the ICU left a trauma, which might need years to heal.

Kudos to this actress, who never gave up on a STEM career.

That would be horrible to be like that for such a long period. It would make most people go mad.

I agree😢

i was with a friend who was comatose for days before he died, but on his last day when i sang his favorite songs to him, he cried. one tear, rolling down his cheek. it was winter solstice, and my husband said, look at the last ray of sunshine setting her hair on fire.

Every time I see this clip... it's terrifying and heartbreaking to think about someone going through this

If this was real she'd still be getting assaulted while the hospital tries to cover it all up

the mother's acting is phenomenal 💓

Heart breaking … this is more terrible than a coma

This is like sleep paralysis except your fully conscious, this is just horrible.

I experienced this for 3 hours during surgery and was fully aware of everything going on and could feel pain as they finished surgery. It was awful.. one of the most horrifying experiences in my life.

I have a friend whose husband has locked in syndrome. He writes poetry.

Thank you for this part. When I was in a coma, I knew and could hear. I can't explain everything but I tried to tell them it's hurts stop please .. this does indeed happen... prayers for all of you...

My wife of 7 months pregnant went into anyplactic shock and is in vegetative coma. Her eyes are open she swallow her siliva she yawns she sneeze she also cry from her cramp she sleeps and she wakes up when is sleepy and want to sleep i try to make some noise and she wakes up like she can hear the noise but when i talk to her like in this video she dont respond. I have no idea how many patients are there like my wife but I pray do God that every patient get their life back

its literally like being locked inside your body.. this and comas are a big fear.. i have lucid dreams so i would never want to get trapped
