I'm amazed that he can still think positive after 23 years of thinking that no one would ever know the truth. -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I don't think you can sue a doctor for not being able to recognize a symptom. It said in the middle of the article that the technology to read his brain function was only created 3 or so years ago. Also, why on earth would doctors think that this guy is in a full body parametrization when it was much more likely that he was in a coma. Now if the guy could like blink or whatever, it would be different. But he literally could not move at all. -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | That was after therapy. Wow the years he has lost with his family and maybe even some of them have died in that amount of time. You have to wonder if he had a gf or anything that he was hopeful about. If his family/nurses kept him wanting to live. The second story of that teacher is basically a misunderstanding between the teacher and parents. Parents probably said stuff to get the children more upset then was necessary. They simply should of wrote a note stating that their child was not to be in the room during this type discussion then go to the school board with the issue. Putting young children through the trauma of fighting with the teacher would make it far worse on the kids. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.
