Amazing, must be surreal. 27 years may have been just a blink of an eye to her.

I wonder what will have changed in that time societally and technology wise that she'd particularly notice.

Must be intimidating.

It will be twice as intimidating considering she is an Emirati, the UAE has changed immeasurably since 2001, never mind 1991. I wonder will she regain a decent level of cognitive ability?

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Same old ****e with different tech.

Bizarre her son is now the age she was the last time she was conscious! Must be very disturbing and upsetting, missing his whole childhood and early adulthood, but I suppose its amazing they get to see each other again, she probably wouldnt even immediately recognise him after such a long time passing

How do they stop her muscles from all waisting away during such a long time of no movement?

Vicarious Function

She must have been showing some signs of minimal consciousness during that time. Otherwise, they would have been told she was "brain-dead" and her support would have been pulled.

Captain Red Beard

I've seen films. She's gonna be psychic now, maybe telekenetic too.

Sure it isn't Stephen seagal???

Vicarious Function

A friend of mine recovered from a coma of a couple of months. She could not make any responses but could hear everything that was going on around her. She could hear her boyfriend talking to her mother, saying: She'll never be any use for anything after this! That certainly was the end of that relationship. LOL!

I lose hope when I read this ****.

If it was in Gods hands why would he have put her in a coma in the first place, let alone left her there for 27 years.

Why do doctors bother at all?

Vicarious Function

She'd have missed everything to do with present-day social technology.

Nice to see the son giving the credit to God, the fcukin donkey

Must feel the same way when you use a time machine

This one came out of the coma though. Esposito never did.

Because they are aware that they’ll be treating people with a variety of beliefs? They know what they did for her. I’m sure she’ll thank them too.

Hope she didn't leave the immersion on

How much will her medical bills be?

What an odd thing to happen.
Hope she makes a full recovery and can enjoy the rest of her life without incidents.

Great story but I saw the heading and thought, for the first time in decades, of Spyder Simpson.

Does anybody remember him? He was a well-known singer with a string of hits and was big in eastern Europe but he was in a car crash in 1987 (two members of his band were killed in it) and in a coma for years afterwards until his death in 1992.


This is a brilliant, brilliant 80s-capturing video even if sad given what happened Spyder:

Unless he had a fcuk tonne of money, and the hospital was glad to take it off his hands.

Funny, when you said that, I immediately thought of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daughter Bobbi Kristina - how long they hung onto her.
