hello everyone<font color="#E5E5E5"> let's talk a little about</font> things that<font color="#E5E5E5"> are really scary</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> not about</font> ghosts and<font color="#E5E5E5"> other paranormal beings but</font> about<font color="#E5E5E5"> the condition</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that every person</font> can<font color="#E5E5E5"> face a coma an absence of reactions</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">loss of consciousness in which</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> you seem</font> to<font color="#E5E5E5"> freeze between our world and the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">other side</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> having</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> fallen into a coma</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">some people have been in the state</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> for</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">many years and doctors still can't make</font> any forecasts<font color="#E5E5E5"> but among the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> many sad</font> stories<font color="#CCCCCC"> there are those</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that can</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> be</font> called a real miracle<font color="#CCCCCC"> so we'll talk</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">about</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> them today</font> [Music] Martin Pistorius was born in South Africa in 1975 in January 1988 when the <font color="#CCCCCC">boy was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> 12 years old</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> one day he came</font> home from<font color="#CCCCCC"> school and complained of a</font> sore throat<font color="#CCCCCC"> it would seem that such a</font> problem<font color="#E5E5E5"> is treated with</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the simplest</font> medications<font color="#E5E5E5"> the Martin never returned to</font> school<font color="#CCCCCC"> his condition disastrously</font> worsened<font color="#E5E5E5"> and doctors could not</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">understand what was happening to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the boy</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">a few days later he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was so exhausted</font> that<font color="#CCCCCC"> he</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> almost completely lost control</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">of his body</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and slept all the time soon</font> he began to<font color="#E5E5E5"> quickly lose memory and a</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">couple of days later</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> fell into a coma</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the cause of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the disease was never</font> established<font color="#CCCCCC"> Martin had long been treated</font> for cryptococcal meningitis and cerebral tuberculosis but<font color="#E5E5E5"> everything was useless</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">after</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a while the doctors admitted</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that</font> Martin completely lost touch with the <font color="#CCCCCC">outside world</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and nothing more can be done to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> help</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> him</font> he was discharged from the<font color="#CCCCCC"> hospital and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the parents were sold that they could</font> only look after<font color="#E5E5E5"> him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and wait for the</font> disease<font color="#CCCCCC"> to do its job</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of course there</font> was<font color="#E5E5E5"> a tiny chance that the boy would</font> recover<font color="#E5E5E5"> but the doctors claimed that he</font> would never<font color="#CCCCCC"> be able to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> return</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> normal</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">life</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in a state of coma</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> people rarely</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">live long</font> but Martin<font color="#E5E5E5"> contrary to all predictions</font> kept<font color="#E5E5E5"> hanging on to his life however was</font> this existence a real life he<font color="#E5E5E5"> spent more</font> than<font color="#CCCCCC"> 10 years at</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> home everyone thought</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that he'd lost all contact with</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">outside world the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Martin claims that he</font> regained consciousness a couple of years after<font color="#CCCCCC"> he fell</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> ill I</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was completely</font> unresponsive<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was in a virtual coma</font> I<font color="#E5E5E5"> was lost in the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> landward</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Dragons lie and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> no one could rescue me</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Martin</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> shared when he was 17</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> years old</font> he completely<font color="#E5E5E5"> regained his consciousness</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">memory returns to him but the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> guy still</font> couldn't talk<font color="#E5E5E5"> he felt like a ghost</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">because people</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> seemed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to look through</font> him<font color="#E5E5E5"> and Martin himself could only watch</font> them<font color="#E5E5E5"> however much I try to beg and plead</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">houses scream</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I couldn't</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> make them</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">notice me</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Martin wrote later</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the stark</font> reality hit me<font color="#E5E5E5"> that I was going to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> spend</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> rest of my life like that</font> totally<font color="#E5E5E5"> alone the guy was trapped and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> is</font> only interlocutor<font color="#E5E5E5"> was his own thoughts</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">thoughts that could not be called joyful</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">once Martin even heard his mother in a</font> fit of despair<font color="#CCCCCC"> said that it would be</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">better if all this ended right now no</font> matter<font color="#E5E5E5"> how this was the most terrible</font> moments in his life<font color="#CCCCCC"> the boy was hurt but</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">he understood that she said it because</font> she<font color="#CCCCCC"> considered herself to be a bad</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">mother that can't help her beloved son</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> only one who believed in the boy</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">until the very end was his father every</font> day<font color="#E5E5E5"> he washed and fed Martin dressed and</font> even made a massage inside I cried desperately<font color="#E5E5E5"> to him dad</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I'm here</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">can't he see but he didn't notice me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> could only stare praying my silent desperation would somehow communicate itself<font color="#E5E5E5"> recalls Martin to train the brain</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the boy</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> constantly solved problems in</font> his mind<font color="#E5E5E5"> and one day everything changed</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">when</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Martin was 25 one of the paramedics</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> worked with him noticed his faint</font> attempts to make it clear that<font color="#CCCCCC"> he was</font> present<font color="#E5E5E5"> a meaningful look a barely</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">perceptible smile and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> not Martin was</font> urgently sent to a special<font color="#CCCCCC"> Center for</font> alternative<font color="#CCCCCC"> communication at the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">University of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Pretoria</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> where he passed</font> various tests and proved to be conscious learning about the improvements of<font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">son's health</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the mother quit her job and</font> for<font color="#E5E5E5"> the next two years helped Martin to</font> develop a special<font color="#E5E5E5"> computer program with</font> which<font color="#CCCCCC"> Martin can now communicate</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font> chooses words<font color="#CCCCCC"> and the laptop</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> speaks for</font> him having received the<font color="#CCCCCC"> opportunity to</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">communicate</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the guy was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> able to finish</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">college and even got a job</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> as a</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> designer</font> in a web<font color="#CCCCCC"> company</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> long and heavy</font> rehabilitation did its job<font color="#CCCCCC"> a facial</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">expression</font> turn to<font color="#E5E5E5"> Martin the movements of the</font> upper<font color="#E5E5E5"> body</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in 2008 he met his

color="#E5E5E5"> with who I</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> am</font> says Martin<font color="#CCCCCC"> life can change so quickly</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">it is important to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> appreciate what you</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">have at the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> moment</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in 2011</font> Martin pistorius's book<font color="#E5E5E5"> ghost boy was</font> published in which he<font color="#E5E5E5"> told this story</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and shared all the experiences that he'd</font> had while<font color="#CCCCCC"> he was locked inside his</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> own</font> body<font color="#CCCCCC"> Martin calls on everyone to treat</font> each other with kindness<font color="#CCCCCC">

the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> only one</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in</font> 2007<font color="#CCCCCC"> a Polish guy named John grows up</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Sookie</font><font

was at that</font> time 46 years<font color="#E5E5E5"> old worked as a track man</font> on the railway<font color="#E5E5E5"> but during the work he</font> was<font color="#E5E5E5"> seriously injured by a fastening of</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the car and was urgently sent to the</font> hospital<font color="#CCCCCC"> doctors told the relatives the</font> sad news<font color="#CCCCCC"> in addition to the injuries</font> received<font color="#CCCCCC"> Jan's</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> suffered from a brain</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">tumor and soon fell into a coma the</font> prospects<font color="#E5E5E5"> were disappointing Grizzard</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">Sookie could not last more than three</font> years<font color="#CCCCCC"> but</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> John's wife Gertrude er was</font> not about to<font color="#E5E5E5"> give up</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> every</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> day she not</font> only did<font color="#E5E5E5"> all the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> necessary procedures</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">for a husband but also constantly talked</font> to him sharing the latest<font color="#E5E5E5"> news it would</font> seem like quite<font color="#E5E5E5"> a meaningless occupation</font> but<font color="#CCCCCC"> Gertrudis</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> saw</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> jan react to her words</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">she</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> just thought everyone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> else didn't</font> see it<font color="#CCCCCC"> the man's fingers trembled and</font> his eyes moved under his eyelids<font color="#E5E5E5"> but the</font> doctors asserted that these involuntary convulsive movements meant nothing but as<font color="#E5E5E5"> Jan grew older the size of the tumor</font> decreased<font color="#E5E5E5"> allowing him to gradually</font> regain consciousness<font color="#E5E5E5"> in the end</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">everything ended in a completely</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">unexpected way mr.</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> grisay Sookie</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> came to</font> himself<font color="#E5E5E5"> on April</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the 12th 2007</font> doctors couldn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> say anything</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> turned out</font> the Gertrude<font color="#E5E5E5"> who was right all</font> this time<font color="#CCCCCC"> at</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the time</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> wayne gretzky</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> fell</font> into a coma<font color="#CCCCCC"> he had four children back</font> then<font color="#CCCCCC"> Poland or rather thee then polish</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">People's Republic was in a deep economic</font> crisis<font color="#E5E5E5"> the workers constantly</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> organized</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">mass strikes and in general life was not</font> easy<font color="#CCCCCC"> imagine what was John's surprised</font> when he discovered that the world around <font color="#E5E5E5">was completely different</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and if he fell</font> asleep<font color="#E5E5E5"> in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> era of communism</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> then he</font> woke up<font color="#E5E5E5"> in a country</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that had joined</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> European Union<font color="#E5E5E5"> when I went into a coma</font> there was only<font color="#E5E5E5"> tea and vinegar in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> shops<font color="#E5E5E5"> meat was rationed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and huge petrol</font> queues were everywhere<font color="#E5E5E5"> now I see</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> people</font> on the<font color="#CCCCCC"> streets with cell phones and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">there were so many goods in the shops</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it</font> makes my head spin Grizzard<font color="#CCCCCC"> Suki said in an interview in</font> addition when he regained consciousness <font color="#CCCCCC">Jan suddenly discovered</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that all his</font> children<font color="#E5E5E5"> had</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> grown up</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> long</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ago and had</font> their own<font color="#E5E5E5"> families and he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> himself became</font> the happy grandfather of<font color="#E5E5E5"> 11</font> grandchildren<font color="#CCCCCC"> however according to grows</font> obscure himself<font color="#E5E5E5"> being a grandfather was</font> not news to<font color="#E5E5E5"> him as Gertrude had told him</font> all<font color="#CCCCCC"> about this</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and the man heard every</font> word<font color="#E5E5E5"> another similar case occurred to a</font> guy named<font color="#CCCCCC"> Hans Horace in 2013 when</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Han</font> was only 19 his parents<font color="#CCCCCC"> discovered that</font> he<font color="#CCCCCC"> was unconscious</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> on the floor</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his</font> own bedroom<font color="#CCCCCC"> the boy didn't speak</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font> couldn't eat or move independently doctors told relatives<font color="#E5E5E5"> that the young</font> man<font color="#E5E5E5"> is</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in a vegetative state and it was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">possible he could stay like this for the</font> rest<font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his life</font> it was<font color="#E5E5E5"> completely unclear why</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Han</font> suddenly disconnected from the world<font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> night before nothing<font color="#E5E5E5"> strange had</font> happened<font color="#E5E5E5"> to him and he didn't feel</font> unwell<font color="#E5E5E5"> according</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to the parents he just</font> came<font color="#E5E5E5"> home</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> from work ate a</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> salad and went</font> to bed<font color="#CCCCCC"> but</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> something happened</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that night</font> and in the<font color="#E5E5E5"> morning the mother found one</font> unconscious it's been two<font color="#CCCCCC"> whole years</font> before some<font color="#CCCCCC"> changes had taken</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> place this</font> condition<font color="#E5E5E5"> one day on</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Thanksgiving</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Day</font> family members took the young man to<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">backyard</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> have some fresh air</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">one's favorite dogs are playing around</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and suddenly</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his father made a strange</font> decision<font color="#CCCCCC"> he put a dog's whistle</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> on his</font> son's lips<font color="#E5E5E5"> and suddenly one whistled it</font> was obvious<font color="#E5E5E5"> this wasn't a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> simple reflex</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and it soon</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> became clear</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that the guy</font> began to recover<font color="#E5E5E5"> soon after the</font> unexpected experiment <font color="#E5E5E5">when began to move his lips then whisper</font> and after all<font color="#CCCCCC"> he could speak on</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a par</font> with others having fully recovered his voice gradually other cool things returned<font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font> like the<font color="#E5E5E5"> ability to draw play the piano</font> or<font color="#E5E5E5"> play with</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> docs clan even learns</font> to walk<font color="#CCCCCC"> again and although this isn't</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">easy</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he's succeeding surprisingly like</font> the other<font color="#E5E5E5"> heroes of our video the guy</font> claims to<font color="#E5E5E5"> have memorized all that has</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">happened in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> those two years</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> for example</font> asking doctors to move his arm or watching a tennis ball and it's not just
