Пациент провел 23 года в состоянии, которое было диагностировано как кома, и никто уже ни на что не надеялся, но оказалось, что все эти годы он был в полном сознании, мог слышать каждое слово врачей, и был не в состоянии как-либо дать о себе знать.
For 23 years Rom Houben was trapped in his own body, unable to communicate with his doctors or family. They presumed he was in a vegetative state following a near-fatal car crash in 1983.
But then doctors used a state-of-the-art scanning system on the brain of the martial arts enthusiast, which showed it was functioning almost normally.
He said his body was paralysed when he came round after his accident. Although he could hear every word his doctors spoke, he could not communicate with them.
"I screamed, but there was nothing to hear," he said, via his keyboard.
