'I want to talk to my wife': coma victim breaks decade of silence: "For almost 10 years, following an accident that left him severely brain damaged, Donald Herbert was virtually silent, could barely see, and had no memory of his former life, his wife, or four children. For his family, the point must have come where they never expected to speak with him again.
But the 44-year-old former firefighter, badly injured in a fire in 1995, astounded doctors when on Saturday he suddenly looked up from the nursing home and told staff: 'I want to talk to my wife.' "

Wow...that's half a Rip Van Winkle!
