Don't know who she is? Well, you probably haven't met her, she's been in a coma for 28 years.

Can you even imagine waking up from a coma that long? So much has changed in 28 years, that's longer than I've even BEEN ALIVE. That's like 4 Presidents.. then you gotta pay the medical bill when you wake up.
NEW YORK - Martha "Sunny" von Bulow, the heiress who spent the last 28 years of her life in a coma after what prosecutors alleged in a pair of sensational trials were two murder attempts by her husband, died Saturday at age 76.
She died at a nursing home in New York, her children said in a statement issued by family spokeswoman Maureen Connelly.
...
Her doctor testified that the cost of maintaining her was $375,000 the first year, 1981.
No figures were available for the years that followed, but by the early 1990s room charges were up to about $1,500 a day — $547,000 a year — plus $200,000 to $300,000 for round-the-clock private nursing.

I wouldn't want to wake up after that long. 5-10 years would be horrifying but a novelty at least. 28 would be crippling, emotionally speaking.
also how do they differentiate a coma from being braindead
you should watch it. it is good.
Yeah, if she had woken up I don't know if she could've handled it emotionally. I sure as fuck couldn't.
EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS DEAD AND A BLACK GUY IS PRESIDENT
SAN FRANCISCO 49'ers HAVE 5 SUPERBOWL WINS!
Seriously
Be pretty neat to see how things have changed
It's like a time machine!
Except, you know
You're in a coma

don't know if it'd be crippling
THE RUSSIANS ARE NOW OUR ALLIES AND ALL YOUR INVESTED MONEY IS GONE
but oh yeah the fact that the music's different would be the real shock
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
When you are braindead all of your brain has lost function. People in comas only lose partial functionality, and still respond to stimulae such as senses and things like equilibrium.
Hook up some electrodes to a coma patient and cut off their foot and you will see electrical activity. A brain dead person will show no readings other than the base electrical signal of the system.
also goodbye lenin was a very enjoyable movie you are right futore
I kind of wish my aunt wasn't being weird and would tell him that his grandfather has died but apparently it isn't my place to tell her how to raise her children
let's remove all romance from comas and all fun from this thread
This is to prevent clots and minimize atrophy best they can.
You would be weak as all hell, yes. But I doubt that you would be physically unable to move after waking up.
:x
who are you talking to
Well nobody listened to you then because you were british.
After how long?
Because this is the point here. You could conceivably wake up at any second. Would you, as the family member, have the nerve to pull the plug knowing that there is a very real possibility that if you had just waited another day you would have woken up. People have woken up from extremely long comas with no sideeffects whatsoever, other than being thin and weak.
I mean, you've lived a long, full, long, rich, long life
You've had a good long run

you are keeping me on every machine possible until I die of natural causes
fuck decency, I could wake up
very few people, the chances of making a full recovery after a few months is real low
How dare you think about the long term emotional and financial well-being of your family and friends, you little shit. It's my turn to be selfish!
It does not help when you wake up far away from where you died in the first place
we are becoming
one
Do you get super pissed and kill anyone who takes them, absorbing their life force into your own in your quest for total world domination and also to bring back your long dead girlfriend?

Comas can be fun.
