I can barely imagine anything more torturous than being in this man’s condition - having to watch friends and family suffer at your bedside and being unable to tell them that you’re awake, and aware and not merely a vegetable being kept alive via wires.
Yea, My family read that story it gives you a bad case of the heebie jeebies and a queasy stomach. I would hate to be the doctors that screwed him so badly. I would hate to be him even more so. There is nothing anyone can do to give him and his family those stolen years back. Money just can’t fix something like that.
