Man Awakens From 12-Year Coma, His First Words Shook Everyone

His Family Went On With Their Lives

While some people who are in a coma were able to awaken and return to their normal lives, others remain confined to a vegetative state or a degree of awareness that is only minimally aware of their surroundings. Martin's body, on the other hand, was unyielding and fought for 12 years to save him from death. His family had been under the impression that he had lost all touch with the outside world throughout this period, but they couldn't have been more mistaken.

He Was Actually Conscious

When it came down to it, Martin's family and physicians were completely unaware that the man they loved had recovered consciousness two years after he had been in a coma. Every conversation that was taking on in the room was completely understood by him, and he was attentive to everything that was said. After losing consciousness at the age of 18 and sustaining a spinal cord injury, Martin was able to recover consciousness, but his ability to move was severely limited.
