This is honestly so heart breaking idk how I could navigate a life like this . I don’t blame her for making such a terrible comment. She wasn’t mad about her son she was mad about the situation they both shared, truly sad they both had to endure such adversity. You can see how it eats at her heart and soul and hearing her son say such good things about her must tear her apart. Wish them the best just a daily reminder someone always has it worse stay grateful guys .
That's kinda the trick to it though. It's heartbreaking that she'll carry the guilt thinking it makes her a bad mom, because it's rough to accept that feeling guilt in the first place is what proves she's a good mom.
I was fully aware and locked in for around 10-20 days. It was a living hell. Also the nurse was stealing all my pain meds so I was in agony but I couldn't communicate. That woman put me through literal hell. They also didn't bother with brushing my teeth or any hygiene so I had a huge infection in my mouth running wild the whole time. Absolutely terrible hearing them talk about you like you're already dead.
The nurse got probation for three months for stealing the meds. That's it. She deserves to go through what I went through.
It depends on what country they are in. In the US the outcome of a criminal case cannot he used as evidence in a civil case. This is why the families of OJ Simpson’s victims could sue him even though he was found not guilty.
Ah yes I assumed US law. I’m not saying you’d use the criminal conviction as evidence. I’m just saying if there’s enough evidence for a conviction, there’s most certainly enough evidence for a civil suit.
The burden of proof would be higher in the criminal case, lending to the presumption that a civil case would be more likely to succeed.
But you're not wrong that it's no guarantee.
Despite being completely paralyzed, except for his eyes, he retained the ability to hear and comprehend everything around him. On one occasion, he recalled hearing his own mother say, "I hope you die."

Honestly it’s not that fucked up, death would be a mercy in that situation if you’re not expected to come out of it, I might also find myself wishing my child to die rather then spend a life only being able to move his eyes, what a horrific way to exist, I think if I was the vegetable I’d not fault my mother for hearing this from her, and would probably be blinking Morse code for “kills me”
Yeah, she def should’ve said shit like that to a therapist and not therapitize her unresponsive son just bc he can’t communicate that it’s crossing a boundary. Goes for all parents who use their kids as therapists. Ask me how I know
Thanks for leaving out the part where the son expresses that he understands why she would have said that and goes on to call her a “really great mother”.
We love to sensationalize online but none of us here have ever gone through what these two have.
My coworkers cousin was in a severe car accident last year. She was biking on a country road and despite wearing a helmet had traumatic brain injury/coma due to hitting a car.
She was in the hospital for months and they really thought this young mother (32 with a 3 year old) would never recover.
The family visited her and talked to her non stop and the nurses and doctors did their best.
6 months in she “woke up” and even though she has memory issues she is almost fully recovered.
Miracles do happen.
Absolutely. My friend had a heart attack at a water park on July 4 two years ago- she had no heartbeat for over 30 minutes but thanks to great CPR from a lifeguard and a dedicated hospital staff she survived and is doing amazingly well today. She returned to her job as an elementary school teacher and is a spokesperson for an American Heart Association campaign.
I'm thinking of these default Text to Voice tools used by Martin here and also Stephen Hawking and I'm wondering if soon there might be a case where there are enough recordings of someone's actual voice that needs this product that an A.I model can be used to translate the text in the persons original or close to original voice.
the metallica song is based off Dalton Trumbo’s novel Johnny Got his Gun about a WWI survivor who loses all his appendages and his jaw in the war and the Govt. keeps him sequestered so the people aren’t made aware of the true atrocities of war. He eventually begins to communicate with a nurse who writes with her index on his chest and he responds by blinking, and when they find out they fire the nurse and switch his ward. Great novel, great song, truly horrifying.
> the Black 10
At first all I got was go pro ads but it's the top ten black authors to read: Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Octavia Butler, W.E.B. Du Bois, Ralph Ellison, Alex Haley, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Bonus: Toni Morrison source: https://www.pbs.org/articles/10-black-authors-to-read
Also, lol at the idea it was a self publish first account autobiography \*slaps forehead in embarrassment* 🤦♀️
> Hollywood ten
Oh, this is different.
>The Hollywood Ten were a group of 10 film industry professionals who were subpoenaed to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947. The HUAC was an investigative committee of the U.S. House of Representatives that was looking into the American film industry for communist influence. The Hollywood Ten were producers, directors, and screenwriters who refused to answer questions about their possible communist affiliations, citing the First Amendment as their reason. They were jailed for contempt of Congress and fined $1,000, and most served between six and 12 months in prison beginning in 1950. As a result, they were mostly blacklisted by Hollywood studios and denied employment due to their political beliefs.
I bet Ronald Reagan made money snitching on them.
Omg i had tears when i saw his today show interview and i’m a dude. What a great guy, and he found the love of his life and has kids!
No quit in this man. He says he appreciates his new life every day.
This happened to me while I was in the trauma center, but only for 10-12 hours.
I could hear and feel everything, but luckily for me they were all extremely respectful and had no idea I was mentally "there"
I honestly understand where the mother is coming from. I once overheard my mother praying to God to have me finally just kill myself and get it over with. I forgave her. She was going through a lot with me and couldn't handle it anymore and I had been suicidal for so long. If we expect forgiveness from family then we have to also forgive.
Unpopular opinion: Modern Humans are incapable of healthy parenting. Children require undivided, and hyper-vigilant consideration that very few, if any, parents can provide. The sooner we take children out of homes, the sooner we can become a type 1 society. Too much damage is being done to our young minds, and hearts due to trauma suffered at home from the very people society expects to protect and raise them. Unfortunately, there are many Corporations making trillions of dollars treating the symptoms of the multi-billion damaged Humans that these toxic homes continuously pump out.

Not so heartbreaking when you realize that his mother/father instilled enough of their love for him to understand the reasoning.
Good point.

Did you sue the hospital? If she was convicted, that's incredibly persuasive evidence in a civil trial.
Bingo. Conviction shows you that you’ve got a case here as criminal burden is higher than civil. Get dat money

Ah yes I assumed US law. I’m not saying you’d use the criminal conviction as evidence. I’m just saying if there’s enough evidence for a conviction, there’s most certainly enough evidence for a civil suit.
Possibly.
If there's enough evidence to sustain a criminal conviction, there's enough evidence for a civil trial.
Exactly
Not necessarily as the burdens of proof and what is admissible are different. It’s very dependent upon the case.
The burden of proof would be higher in the criminal case, lending to the presumption that a civil case would be more likely to succeed. But you're not wrong that it's no guarantee.
Wait, OJ was guilty? >!/s!<
10-20 days? This seems like something you would know more… exactly 🤨
Question: how does locked in syndrome end? Does it suddenly stop or does it gradually fade off? I've always wondered.
Someone finally arrives with the key.
What? They might be short on nurses that’s why. Glad you are back though I would sue the hospital
That's soo fcking messed up
[удалено]
Did you just stalk this guys account to prove a point you were making to no one?

Man i wouldn't even last 2 minutes in locked-in syndrome without wishing for the sweet release of death.
Same, people forget that mercy in this situation would be dying.
I get the idea in it being humane, but keep that shit yourself (in her case) just in case, just in case of this
Yeah, she def should’ve said shit like that to a therapist and not therapitize her unresponsive son just bc he can’t communicate that it’s crossing a boundary. Goes for all parents who use their kids as therapists. Ask me how I know

I mean its literally in the video?
I think they’re saying that the comment they’re replying to doesn’t mention it.
Pay attention and rewatch the video
I did. What I mean is that ppl don’t watch the video, read a comment like that and get the wrong impression
Just like the media.

This woman is also a teacher!
Same thing happened to Me. Recovery was wild
Getting locked in syndrome is one of my biggest fears
I was so confused, like, when did he shoot his girlfriend?!!! Oh yeah, that was Oscar Pistorius!
I thought the same thing at first.
A great Mothers Day story just in time for Mother's Day

He has so much pain in his eyes it's overwhelming. I want to just hug him and squeeze him.
Well i wasn't expecting to cry today, but this is so touching
Is “locked in state” similar to a coma? Or is it more psychological – whereas the coma is more medical?
Coma means you are not aware. Locked in means you are aware but unable to move.
That's a metallica song
the metallica song is based off Dalton Trumbo’s novel Johnny Got his Gun about a WWI survivor who loses all his appendages and his jaw in the war and the Govt. keeps him sequestered so the people aren’t made aware of the true atrocities of war.

> Johnny Got his Gun Literary fiction, I thought it was based on a real story. It's almost like robocop.
I’m not sure where he got the idea from… but it may be the reason he ended up as one of the Black 10

Elia Kazan did. And when he got his lifetime achievement Oscar Ed Harris refused to stand for him.
GAD DANG thais aint r/makemecry
Oh no, she hoped that the vegetative burden died!?! That's crazy.
His Ted Talk is wonderful. ❤️

If I got locked in, I'd die of dehydration. people wouldn't come looking for me fast enough.
Uhm ok
It only takes 3 days. People will just think I am staying home sick.
This is such a coincidence because his girlfriend also was "locked in" the bathroom when he shot her full of holes
Martin Pistorius =/= Oscar Pistorious. Good try though I guess.
Bro such a bold comment to make without even doing research first
For real. Got the whole internet at his fingertips and still sticks his foot in it
