Man Awakens After 12 Years in Coma, Reveals He Heard His Mom Tell Him: “I Hope You Die”

Ten years of being a 'vegetable' did not stop a man from being in the loop.

Being in the ‘vegetable’ state almost always equate to hopelessness, because more often than not, people under this state are going to eventually die even after going through extensive medical treatments and procedures.

It is a sad story for everybody, particularly to the sick person – imagine being alive, but not really? It must be really frustrating! But we wonder what really happens to the cognitive state of a person when he/ she goes into coma? We know of the physical state, but what about the mind?

Generally, a person in coma just sleeps all the time – no talking, no moving, no nothing. That’s what we thought, at least until now. Martin Pistorius, a 24-year old man claims that even though he was in coma for 12 years, he isn’t completely out of the loop. He was then 12 years old when his body deteriorated, and went into a state of coma. The doctors tested and treated him for several medical diagnoses but they just couldn’t decipher what exactly has gotten Martin into that situation. After a year, the doctors confessed that they have ran out of options, and suggested that the family bring him to a permanent care institution.

Surprisingly, Martin admitted that he had stayed conscious all through out. He said he had witnessed history unfold through television, such as Princess Dianna’s death and Mandela’s presidency, among many others. He overheard conversations, his caretakers’ comments, and all sorts of words that sometimes made him feel negative.

Ten years later, he’s fully recovered and happily married! Good thing everything turned out positive and happy.
