A firefighter who was severely brain-damaged "woke up" after being silent for a decade and began speaking to his family and doctors.
He was injured fighting a house fire in 1995 and was buried under rubble after the burning roof collapsed. His air supply was cut for several minutes and he was left comatose for ten weeks. Afterwards he was in a non-responsive state.
According to the story, doctors say that it's unusual for a long-term patient to recover after ten years like this. The word of the day appears to be "amazing."
Here's the story.
