@@veronicanaumov2981 I was in a coma for 7 days with viral encephalitis at the age of 16 which was many years ago. My parents said that my EEG said that my brain was addled and to say goodbye and that if I ever did wake up I would be intellectually disabled. They got a Catholic priest in to give me my last rites (I was not a practicing Catholic) and they made my funeral arrangements. Then I woke up. I was just fine except for a nasty headache which I had for ages afterwards. I remember lying down in the back of the car as my parents drove me home for several hours with a screaming headache which I think I had for months. One interesting effect of the coma was the fact that I lost lots of memories. For example, I forgot about a boyfriend that I'd had some months earlier until someone mentioned his name. Some memories came back when something triggered them but I have lots of gaps. I remembered more recent things but not older things. For example, when I got back to school I could remember more complex mathematical formulas but 2X=4 was a mystery to me. I got about 3% on a maths test and the teacher got stuck into me for such a dreadful result and my Mum went to the school and told him off and that I'd been sick which all the teachers knew about. They knew because initially they didn't know what was wrong with me and at a school assembly told everyone I was very ill and they weren't sure why and asked all the students to come forward if I had taken any drugs. I hadn't taken any drugs. That teacher was always a pig to other students but never to me as I was a good student until that day he gave me back my maths test results. I also became really good with remembering numbers like my drivers licence number, tax file number, phone numbers of people I rang, etc. Funnily enough when I was later at university on a clinical placement my supervisor told me that she had also had viral encephalitis years before and she too could remember numbers much better afterwards. The brain is incredibly interesting. My Mom thinks that my personality also changed and she thinks for the worst. I have no idea if she is right as I feel the same to me. Perhaps I just grew up. One of my sons is considering psychiatry too. Best of luck with your degree.

Stroke patient here. My right side was paralyzed from the stroke but involuntary spasms and convulsions kept the muscles in my leg from atrophy. Same with the arm. The interesting thing was, as I regained control of the leg and arm each area that I regained stopped convulsing as I got it under full control. It was still a little weak but not so much as you’d expect after 6 months. The arm doesn’t have full control yet but the leg does and has stopped spasming and convulsing. The upper arm is back but the forearm,wrist and fingers are not. They still have spasms and convulsions. This keeps the muscles from atrophy. The chest, abdomen and hip muscles have also come back. I don’t have full control of facial muscles and have a really severe speech impediment. I didn’t have control of the eye for the first few days as I couldn’t control the lid. That came back in a few days. My take? As long as there is no nerve damage it is possible for the guy to get up and walk after only a few hours but he won’t have much stamina. My personal experience.

The teaching hospital uses my friend's inches thick file (somewhat redacted) as an entry question when asking trainee doctors "How long does this man have to live?" The usual answer is between 24 and 48 hours from the symptoms presented. Three weeks in an induced coma and he could afterwards identify the good and the bad doctors and nurses by their voices...and what they said within his hearing. He ripped strips off one doctor who kept saying he was going to die......to the man's wife. He said hearing that was like being in a water filled glass cube and struggling to break through the glass top to scream "I will not die...do not say that to my wife". It's been 5 years now....beat their predictions he would not walk again, beat their predictions on everything. The same young doctors class just finish their "He's going to die" discussion... when he walks into the lecture..... Ethics demand good bedside manner for a reason....

I know it’s a show, but this episode was one I just had to shake my head at. There’s no way he would have been able to start moving around likes that after a 10 year coma, even if he was receiving PT to work his muscles. Not to mention his weight was way too heavy for being in a 10 year coma. While he might have wanted a steak, he wouldn’t be able to eat anything solid for quite a while. I was in a really bad car accident in 1993. L2 compression fracture and my small intestine was severed from my stomach. I spent three weeks in two hospitals, had L2 fused together and fused to L1, small intestine was reattached and rerouted to my bowels, and part of my large intestine had to be removed due to being twisted and bruised. I was fed through a tube for two weeks and lost 45-50 pounds. Once I was able to eat solid foods again, it was a couple bites at a time or I would throw up. Even with just a week in bed before my back was fused, it took me three days to be able to walk more than 10-15 feet. It took months to gain enough strength to walk more than 20-30 minutes, and gaining weight took even longer.

Muscular atrophy is one thing, the more important thing in my opinion is that comas don't work like this. Patients in a coma don't have reflexes like coughing or vomiting and thus have to be on a respirator and feeding tubes permanently. After such a long time, the patient would have received a tracheotomy to avoid Tubus-induced ulcers on the epiglottis and vocal cords and a gastric feeding tube at the very least. Coma doesn't mean you just sleep a long time. To quote the great calculon: This is the worst coma acting I've seen in years!

The jokes are good but as someone who has been in a coma for 5 weeks I can tell you that after 10 years he wouldn't be doing math and getting up putting on pants with 15lbs of weight loss, I had atrophied all my muscles away after just a short time. Standing was painful like fire all over my body, but waking up took time and my brain fog lasted for a while. After two months of rehabilitation and then another year of working out while back at school, I managed to regain my strength. But for the sake of the show, they did a good job telling the story. A ten year coma is a LONG time.

The most inaccurate medical scene ever. If he was in bed for 10 years in a "persistent vegetative state", 1.) He would have a tracheostomy to breathe 2.) And a feeding tube 3.) He would not have been able to raise his head and prop up on his elbows so readily, much less stand up. Laying in bed even for a few days can weaken you. 10 years? Muscle weakness, atrophy and foot drop. And a painful bed sore or two. Yes I know it's Hollywood ...
