It is said that recently in the Uae, the awakening of a vegetative patient has attracted a lot of media coverage.
The so-called vegetative person, this state of people in addition to some instinctive neural response and metabolic ability, basically no cognitive ability, action ability of the dormant person.
And what's special about this reported vegetative person is that she's been in a coma for a full 27 years.
The woman in the photo is Munira Abdulla, who was only 32 years old in 1991. When the car she was riding with her son collided with a bus, Munira instinctively reached out and hugged her son, and as a result she was seriously injured and passed out.
It was then that Munira's family began a long wait.
They initially sent Munira to a hospital in Abu Dhabi for treatment, but she didn't seem to show any signs of waking up, and later they sent her to London for treatment.
But they were disappointed, and Munira became a complete vegetative person.
As time passed, Munira's family took care of her day after day, and although Munira lay motionless in bed, her family hoped that one day a miracle would happen.
Munira slept for 27 years.
During this time, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the birth of the Internet, the invasion of Iraq by the United States, the death of Mike Jackson, and the world has changed dramatically, Munira still lies quietly there, surviving on a ventilator and feeding tubes.
In 2017, the media reported that Munira's family took good care of patients, and Munira received a lot of attention. Even the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi showed concern, was willing to help her go to Germany to try treatment and gave them a payment for treatment.
And it was this act of kindness that actually contributed to a miracle.
After Munira had been in Germany for a year, the patient, who had been sleeping for 27 years, began to make some strange noises.
It was as if a long awakening was about to wake up.
Just three days after she was starting to show signs of waking up, Munira actually woke up. She opened her eyes and called her son's name softly.
Munira's sons were stunned. Didn't expect him to really wait for this day.
Now Munira can communicate with people normally, although there is no memory of 27 years, but her awakening is also a miracle of life...
After Munira's deeds were reported, the Sun also reported on other vegetative people who had once performed miracles.
After "sleeping" for a long time, they seem to jump gently in time and space, reincarnating as human beings...
"When I woke up, I thought Princess Diana was still alive."
[Candace Emptage, 45 years old, was in a car accident and was in a coma for six weeks.]
In 2010, 36-year-old Candace was in a coma for six weeks in a car accident, and by the time she woke up, she felt as if she had traveled back in time to the 1990s. She didn't know she had a daughter, that her parents had divorced a few years earlier, or even that she didn't seem to know about Princess Diana's death.
Candace's memory stays stuck when she was 22 years old.
This is a photo of Candace with her daughter before the car accident.
Recalling the time when she was unconscious, she said she could hear everyone talking around her and hearing people talk about her condition and medication. It's just that she can't give any response.
However, because of the severe brain injury, Candace could not work when she woke up, and she even needed to relearn to walk and speak.

Gemma collapsed after being hit while riding a motorcycle. She was in a coma for two months, and when she woke up, her mother sadly told her that maybe she would never walk in her life.

In May 2013, Gemma gave birth to her son and became a mother.
Wake up
It's like a lifetime...
