iantjambo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Former French international has died at the age of 73 after being in a coma for 39 years. He went into surgery on 17th March 1982 after suffering a ligament rupture. However, an error by the anesthesiologist caused him to suffer a bronchospasm which starved his brain of oxygen and causing him to slip into a coma. A court of law adjudicated on the case in the mid 90’s. Incredibly, the anesthesiologist and a trainee were given just a one month suspended sentence and a fine of €850. His wife refused to euthanise him and continued tending to his needs until his death. Amazing story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Brown Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Incredible time, eh. I remember a world political figure a good while back was something like 18 years. Anyway, your man should be in the Guinness Book of Records going by Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or being a Hibee and waking up and missing them eventually wining the Scottish Cup. The shock would probably put you back into a coma.
