Reply #3: I met a couple of people in the hospital [View All]

[pdx_prog]

when my brother was in a coma. One guy....in the next room, woke up one morning and his shoulder and neck hurt. A couple of weeks later he was in this round traction device laying flat on his stomach with his head in braces and screwed down to the table. He stayed like this for a freakin year. While we were there he was taken off the traction.....the dude took off down the hall with a cane constantly and they just about had to go catch him everytime they wanted to examine him.


A woman I met there was in a car wreck in St. Louis the year before that. She was knocked from her car into a field and had a cracked skull. They sewed her up and several months later she started compaining about something sticking her in her head. They x-rayed her in Memphis and found something between her scalp and brain. They opened her head up and found a cockle burr in her head.
