This guy has a far stronger willpower than me. I think I would have totaly snapped before the first year of this ordeal.

**Albatross**

Woah, that's like my worst nightmare or something.

**garret**

Woh only thing i can think worst then that is the same thing just while being under the knife.

**Cheese Elemental**

That's... horrible. Can you imagine what that would be like? Unable to move, unable to communicate for 23 years?

The mere thought of it gives me chills.

There was a really good anti- war book I read a while ago called "Johnny Got His Gun", about a kid in WW1 that had his arms, legs and face blown off. It goes into what happens inside this guys brain while he lays there in the hospital.
Totaly excellent book that reads a lot what this poor fellow must have gone through.

Maybe they should always leave the TV on vegitative people's rooms.

I suppose it's a good excuse to watch pay-per-view porn in hospital rooms...

'What? He LIKES it! See? He twitched...'

Isn't that the story behind Metallica's ONE song?

I know it uses scenes from a movie with a similar name in the video.

@Chromedog

I'm not sure, but it's possible. The images in that book stayed with me a long time after I read it, especially the way the protagonist invents to communicate.

**SilverMK2**

And just think, there are millions of people who are obviously brain dead just walking around as we sit here on the internet...

**Lord-Loss**

That meticalla song really freaked me.

Poor guy.
