  • I thought this was for real when I first heard about it. But after watching how fast the nurse types clicks those words, claiming "she can feel slight movements in his arm".... She's full of shit. His arms haven't functioned in 25 years and he can make precise movements, pinpointing exact letters on a touch pad? He's averaging 10 clicks a second, I timed it. Uh huh, sure.

  • guarantee the guys really pissed off that his aid is typing random things for him

  • you dont even want the most evil, perverted person ever existed to have to go through that

  • Been proven false, further tests showed no evidence of consciousness in rom. Dunno if that is a good or bad thing for the guy :/

  • @silentdormancy The answer is staring you right in the face: THE ATTENTION- We're all starving for it.

  • @HigherPlanes I thought that too but what would be her incentive? That'd just be straight up wrong and she's a nurse, I don't think she really needs the money...

  • @HigherPlanes fast-forward to :28, you can see him lift up his arm.

  • I feel terrible for this guy. 23 years in a bed, seems like a Twilight Zone episode. Sadly it seems half of his life was wasted, thanks to the doctors of course.

  • This should be on failblog...how do doctors misdiagnose something like that? Wtf...
