People fall into a coma themselves or they are injected artificially to maintain life. There are those who have been in that state for years, but there are also many cases when people wake up. Doctors are still trying to study the condition of people in a coma in order to understand what will help bring them back to life. Rambler says that modern medicine knows about people in a coma.
From the side, a person in a coma looks like sleeping, only in the hospital is he connected to devices that support his life. Scientists have a theory that in the patient’s mind, this also looks like a dream.
Doctors call the state of coma a “gray zone,” and people in it are “between life and death.” Scientists have found that the patient’s brain works in this state, and in some cases they can even hear relatives, respond to music. This has been proven by MRI. Signals were noticed in patients’ brains when they were asked specific questions.
In 1997, teacher Kate Bainbridge fell into a coma due to inflammation after a viral infection. When she came to, she said that she perceived everything around her, heard doctors and relatives, but was locked in her body. She also said that she was very thirsty, but could not ask for water, and was very afraid of the doctors who were constantly manipulating her body.
Doctors conducted experiments and found that 30-40% of people in a coma are conscious. At the same time, doctors do not know how to communicate with them. Whether a person will be conscious or not depends on the severity of the concomitant disease. All other patients feel like a dream to someone, and then forget it when they wake up.
