My mom was an RN for 50 years and she told me she _always_ explained to her patients what she was doing to them, just in case they could feel what was going on.
I work in ICU and we always talk to our patients as well before we do anything. We get the family to fill up a patient profile like their hobbies, likes and dislikes, favorite music and tv shows, if they have pets etc. We always play the patient's favorite music even when they're in coma. And if they wake up without their family by their side, we know a little about them and we can strike up a conversation with them. 😊
It’s been proven hearing it the last of our 5 senses to go, so I was also taught as a caregiver to explain everything even if the person just passed away or is in a coma or incapacitated
In phlebotomy training they told us to always remain professional even if we didn't think the patient was conscious. Then they told us about a patient very similar to this fellow, who everyone thought was comatose and couldn't hear anything, which is why they were surprised when he eventually woke up and complained about several healthcare workers who had made fun of his genitalia at his bedside, thinking he couldn't hear them. He remembered what they said and what their voices sounded like so it wasn't hard to track down the culprits.
Omg...His description of feeling everything and not being able to move or anything is literally the worst nightmare to me. This guy is incredibly strong...amazing!
I think he made it because it was so much better to move around than just stay in bed all day. Awful. We who have our health take soo much for granted and never stop complaining. It's time to enjoy life here on eARth
I understand the concept of your joke and normally it would be funny but in this case it’s not it’s really not that that guy could’ve died and he’s lucky to be alive
My sister was in an induced coma. She had cancer. She said that she was aware, could hear and remember everything that was said. It’s very important that you do not have sensitive conversations around coma patients. Like pulling the plug discussions or health status conversations. Do this out of earshot from the patient please. My sister said she recalled my mother and doctor talking about pulling the plug. 😩
@@abesodessyrobinson1022 wow, that’s a weird thing to say to this… I know it happens, but the way you said it came off a little coarse Also, I think this really comes down to doctors being better communicators… they need to brief family members on what is, and what is not, ok
@@alana1119I get it about the molestation thing, I live in Az and there was a male nurse who molested one of his patients who had a near drowning in childhood and was put in a home cuz her brain was pretty much done but he was molesting her and she got pregnant and no other female nurse who took care and bathed said they never knew she was pregnant (Yeah right) so this nonverbal poor young woman gives birth in this bed and than everyone freaks out and so he’s in prison and her parents got the baby so anyway I hate to say but I thought the same thing hoping nobody touched this young man cuz they’re so many sexual predators out there and I think maybe I think this way is because I was sexually abused and raped at a very young age of 6 years old and it didn’t stop till around 9 years old
Had a stroke patient a few years ago. The guy seemed unconscious, but I told the student act as if he is awake. She agreed, then near end of exam he became very agitated and kept writing with his finger. He wrote out thank you.
Opiate withdrawl is horrific. I'm honestly so shocked he is still alive. My addiction with alochol has been such a battle. I totally feel for him, this disease is so cruel. I'm glad he was able to get help
Not a disease. It’s always a choice- no matter how much your body craves the drug or drink! The first use of drink or drugs is a choice, and it’s almost always made with the full knowledge of the powerful addiction that can follow. Some bad choices can be corrected; others, however, can bring destruction, misery and death. There is 1,000 times more information than is necessary to know that you shouldn’t take that drug or take that drink. You actually don’t have to experiment! I don’t have to touch the hot burner on the stove- I have trustworthy people in my life who told me what would happen if I touched it.
@@malcolmandrews4942I hope you understand that a lot of people walking with opiate addictions didn’t go out searching for the cheapest pill….usually a doctor started our process. But yes, you’re right there is discretion within it and harm is reiterated to us. Disease, yes…yes it is and brain chemistry wouldn’t be different if not. You need to do some research❤
@@marisol033For many cases where a pt is not gonna get better, it can be seen as a false sense of assurance. It’s especially painful for the families if you tell them everything will be ok. The best thing to do is talk to them in positive terms really without talking about their outcome. Essentially, it’s more of an ethics issue.
Bro literally gets to relearn all functions with the developed mind of an adult. Imagine the outcome of a baby born with a developed mind and how smart and skilled they would become. Bro has unlimited potential
That nurse should have never said that in his presence people can and have come out of coma’s medical professional’s know that including nurse’s that was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL OF HER‼️Awesome thank god that he wasn’t taken off of life support 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Locked in syndrome has always really fascinated me. I’ve seen many cases and it always surprises me how in many of these cases it takes years and years for medical professionals to realise they have the condition. It’s almost always one very specific special nurse who takes a bit more care and time to check if they can hear. There has to be a more methodical way developed of figuring out whether someone has this condition. Maybe if these people get noticed sooner they wouldnt have to spend years and years locked in rather only a few months before someone realises. To me it’s almost like doctors and nurses see so many brain dead people they become complacent and almost come to expect locked in syndrome to only exist in their text books and not in their hospital with their patients
Not a lot of people come out of Locked in Syndrome. There is a story of Martin Pistorius and he was i n a coma for 12 years until 1 nurse thought, she saw something and it was because of her just like the doctor for him that changed his life. He is now married, he cannot talk. His story is really fascinating. He remembers when they used to just plop him in front of TV and turned on Barney. He hates Barney because of that.
@@ladybluegrass4173they never figured out a diagnosis of what caused it, but as he was becoming paralyzed, doctors thought he may have had meningitis of the brain. Good chance they were wrong though considering they were wrong for the 12 years they thought he was a vegetable. He heard his own mother tell him "I want you to die" she thought he was brain dead too. One nurse would go out of her way to horrificly abuse him, and pour scolding hot tea down his throat.
It’s true.. ❤ a drunk driver hit my moms on her side of the car. 🚗 and she was in a coma 4 one year and a day. She said it was dark and cold, and far away is a warm light. But she heard us and knew she had daughters. She has brain damage, but is alive.
Im glad your mom is still with us 🥺it’s very hard to grieve someone who is very much alive, I’ve done it. Sending you love…you’re a strong girl ❤f drunk drivers
Jake, is so real, very chill, so kind, extremely genuine, honest & understanding, that it makes him totally relatable on so many levels!... I have a lot of respect for him and truly appreciate Jake for sharing his story with us all!... 💯💯💯
@@TheRandomINFJmaybe the story hits close to home for them? You have no idea why it’s making them cry. If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all!
Wow, I was in a come for a few days and cannot imagine being alert to hear all the chatter and medical staff comments for 10 long months. I didn’t feel and if I did feel while unable to move, oh my gosh! That would be a nightmare. This young man is so strong. After waking up out of a medically induced coma, I could not eat, talk, walk, etc but it came back as time went on. This is such an incredible, true story.
jake, i'm so happy for you. i'm glad you're using your experiences to help others & truly appreciating life. keep up the great work & know that you're making a difference, every day. wishing you a long, healthy, beautiful life filled with love.
made me cry ........ I still have a heart or is it just self pity or depression... one mans struggle is everyones struggle xxx thanks Jake for sharing, keep doing YOU.
I'm happy that the worse thing form a nurse he experienced was "i don't feel like brushing your teeth today". She let him know not knowing or not he could hear.
Extremely lucky that the doctor didn't talk the family into harvesting his organs for donation because he probably would have been alive during the organ retrieval.
@@user-ys2ko2jt4ythat’s not true. There a man alive now who was being prepped for organ harvesting but he was crying on the table. One nurse said she wouldn’t do it and it’s because of her that’s he’s alive today.
I am an Augmentative and Alternative Communication Speech Language Pathologist. One of the highlights of my career was helping a man with locked in syndrome learn to communicate. He didn’t recover like this young man did, but he was able to communicate with his family.
What good insight for healthcare professionals to now have when it comes to the care of those in a coma! Happy this young man survived and kept his sense of humor. 🥰
This locked in syndrome is my biggest fear. I hope my loved one’s will kevorkian me if this happens. My daughter was on life support in coma last January and the one night the nurse thought I was sleeping and she was talking to my daughter the next night I told her I heard her and thank you so much to speaking to my daughter like she is there and she’s is a human..❤she looked at me and “she’s most definitely there..
Im a nurse and we all know that coma patients can hear us, I had a couple of them & just 1 came back. I get into the hospital when he recognize me. The song I was singing and hug me UP., giving me thanks 4 all that I did 4 him. Im on tears right now,
Being trapped in your own body while being able to see,hear an feel everything but not being able to do or say anything about it is absolutly terrifying
I'm so sorry for what you endured and thank God that you made it. May every day bring you greater improvement and may God draw you closer to Him. It's obvious He has plans for you.
AMAZING MAN & story! Congratulations for all your hard work! It’s encouraging to see the story as I struggle with mobility after waiting over two years for hip and Lknee replacement, next is my R knee🤦🏼♀️ I’ve lived with such acute pain for over two years and no date yet for my next knee replacement. I’m bound and determined that come hell or high water, I’m going to reclaim my mobility and health! I WILL dance again!
Wow…you have made a difference in many people’s lives. Those in supposed comas and their loved ones trying to to visit and communicate. I was in a “coma” for only days. What struck me was that I could hear everything the people around me said but my brain was swollen so I couldn’t make sense of it all. I was also blind. At first I panicked because the caregivers talked about a fatal car crash in which Judy and Dave had died. My sister Judy and brother Dave were the ones I thought had died but I could not scream or cry even. Later I realized that they were talking about a totally unrelated couple. Then I started to recover but still could not see. I began to speak and asked to see the baby I had given birth too just before I sank into the “coma”. They told me that I couldn’t see my baby. I meant touch and feel my baby but was unable to express that because my brain was still swollen. Days passed before I was able to express my concern for my brother and sister and my newborn baby. But I heard every word and emotions ruled my blind dark world. I eventually recovered and even got a University education afterward to prove to myself that I could learn to look after my baby. I sincerely recovered and became a teacher and even taught my first born and the two children I had afterward. I still believe that I was saved for a purpose and I wonder if you feel the same?
I am 70 years old now and still not sure what my purpose is. I’m just sure that I have to accomplish something before I die. I may never know the impact my life or that of my children has been. But I am confident that it will be for good.
@@Laura-te1skyou accomplished enough and I think your Children should be extremely proud of you. You had more children after that experience? That in itself makes you a hero, you put your life on the line to bring new life into the world and that’s admirable.
This was really interesting. It can't be overstated enough that the whole human nervous system is a control system, the sensors, nerves, actuators and brain. One of the big things that the nervous system does for us is it strives to maintain homeostasis which is important for health and ongoing living. Just this alone should make you think about how the ingestion of medicines and drugs will inevitably have interactions with your nervous system. We take the nervous system so much for granted because of how all encompassing it is. It's only because of the nervous system that we have thoughts, speech, writing, reading, listening, walking...
This is often caused by illicit substances...he is so fortunate he got to the hospital when he did and they cared enough about him as a human to help him. Thank goodness he is warning others.
I've always had this fear. You hear it all you feel it all and you can't express it. I hope that he called out the nurses about what they said. Not in a mean way but a comical way. Well unless what they were talking about was really bad. During that time he chose to fight. That's wonderful.
I once read the story about how they even discovered locked in syndrome and it has been the biggest fear in life ever since. I don't remeber exactly, but it was something like a coma patient that had been included in a study once woke up after 11 years and said he could hear and see everything during the time in coma. The doctors had his brain scans and could figure out a way to use that data to communicate with the patient. They asked them to think about playing tennis and some other thing (I don't remember) and during brain scans it would light up completely different parts of the brain and therefore the doctors knew it was volontarily and that the patient could hear them. They somehow figured out to wake many of these patients up. But the thing that was really scary was that they discovered that one in FIVE patients suffered from locked in syndrome. 20%!!! I'm not religious in any way shape or form, but that would be my idea of hell.
Amazing man. We're supposed to face challenges & work towards goals, modern society has lost that. It's sad, it usually takes a tragedy to wake up & some don't. How many wouldn't have put that much effort into rehabilitation. Great job 👏
We just lost a family friend who was in a coma after an overdose. He was eventually declared brain dead and they donated his organs. This man is so lucky!!! Always keep narcan around. Please. It’s free at your local pharmacy.

This is so amazing. I needed to hear this today. Thank you for sharing your amazing story! No hands Mf! Your humor❤ and strength!❤❤
Wow. I can't imagine everything he went through. He's so courageous and I'm so proud of him for overcoming his challenges!
AMAZING MAN & story! Congratulations for all your hard work! It’s encouraging to see the story as I struggle with mobility after waiting over two years for hip and Lknee replacement, next is my R knee🤦🏼♀️ I’ve lived with such acute pain for over two years and no date yet for my next knee replacement. I’m bound and determined that come hell or high water, I’m going to reclaim my mobility and health! I WILL dance again!
Wow…you have made a difference in many people’s lives. Those in supposed comas and their loved ones trying to to visit and communicate. I was in a “coma” for only days. What struck me was that I could hear everything the people around me said but my brain was swollen so I couldn’t make sense of it all. I was also blind. At first I panicked because the caregivers talked about a fatal car crash in which Judy and Dave had died. My sister Judy and brother Dave were the ones I thought had died but I could not scream or cry even. Later I realized that they were talking about a totally unrelated couple. Then I started to recover but still could not see. I began to speak and asked to see the baby I had given birth too just before I sank into the “coma”. They told me that I couldn’t see my baby. I meant touch and feel my baby but was unable to express that because my brain was still swollen. Days passed before I was able to express my concern for my brother and sister and my newborn baby. But I heard every word and emotions ruled my blind dark world. I eventually recovered and even got a University education afterward to prove to myself that I could learn to look after my baby. I sincerely recovered and became a teacher and even taught my first born and the two children I had afterward. I still believe that I was saved for a purpose and I wonder if you feel the same?
I am 70 years old now and still not sure what my purpose is. I’m just sure that I have to accomplish something before I die. I may never know the impact my life or that of my children has been. But I am confident that it will be for good.
@@Laura-te1skyou accomplished enough and I think your Children should be extremely proud of you. You had more children after that experience? That in itself makes you a hero, you put your life on the line to bring new life into the world and that’s admirable.
Thank god your sense of humour helped keep you sane. Hallelujah share your story and your experiences. Life is good!
This was really interesting. It can't be overstated enough that the whole human nervous system is a control system, the sensors, nerves, actuators and brain. One of the big things that the nervous system does for us is it strives to maintain homeostasis which is important for health and ongoing living. Just this alone should make you think about how the ingestion of medicines and drugs will inevitably have interactions with your nervous system. We take the nervous system so much for granted because of how all encompassing it is. It's only because of the nervous system that we have thoughts, speech, writing, reading, listening, walking...
Wow your story is truly amazing! I love your sense of humour. Thankyou for sharing it. X
So… how many _other people_ who were conscious got their plugs pulled?
This is often caused by illicit substances...he is so fortunate he got to the hospital when he did and they cared enough about him as a human to help him. Thank goodness he is warning others.
Bless you, Jake. What an inspiration.
This is awesome bro. It really is. Love your story.
Thank goodness he remembers! I knew they can hear. ❤they say talk to them in comas.
Bless this man he’s been through so much 😢
Omgsh...I absolutely love this man. God bless him!!!
I've always had this fear. You hear it all you feel it all and you can't express it. I hope that he called out the nurses about what they said. Not in a mean way but a comical way. Well unless what they were talking about was really bad. During that time he chose to fight. That's wonderful.
Same thing happened to me-addiction wise. I'm glad he made it through. He seems like such a great kid. I hope he continues to thrive
10 months is too long to be trapped in your own body 😣
Brother your mind is trapped in your body from the moment you’re conceived
Just FYI, there is a woman in Finland who has been locked in for decades after a stroke when she was about 20 years old. Her name is Katia.
@ I would go insane 😣
I'm sure because of that experience he is grabbing life by the horns now.
I once read the story about how they even discovered locked in syndrome and it has been the biggest fear in life ever since. I don't remeber exactly, but it was something like a coma patient that had been included in a study once woke up after 11 years and said he could hear and see everything during the time in coma. The doctors had his brain scans and could figure out a way to use that data to communicate with the patient. They asked them to think about playing tennis and some other thing (I don't remember) and during brain scans it would light up completely different parts of the brain and therefore the doctors knew it was volontarily and that the patient could hear them. They somehow figured out to wake many of these patients up. But the thing that was really scary was that they discovered that one in FIVE patients suffered from locked in syndrome. 20%!!! I'm not religious in any way shape or form, but that would be my idea of hell.
Wow ! What a story. A MIRACLE
He gives me hope. ❤
Amazing man. We're supposed to face challenges & work towards goals, modern society has lost that. It's sad, it usually takes a tragedy to wake up & some don't. How many wouldn't have put that much effort into rehabilitation. Great job 👏
We just lost a family friend who was in a coma after an overdose. He was eventually declared brain dead and they donated his organs. This man is so lucky!!! Always keep narcan around. Please. It’s free at your local pharmacy.
You just never know and he can tell ya!
Good for him .. glad he survived and keeps leaning and going far above what he thought he could. ❤
He is an absolute miracle
Big inspiration!
Thank you for this! ❤
WOW.
Incredible recovery 🙏🏿
