Time Warp
Watched this interesting documentary on Terry Wallis last night. Terry, as you may remember, is the guy who came out of a coma after 19 yrs. And he's from down around where I grew up, so I knew him from before he had the accident.
The show follows him through several examinations by specialists in New Jersey and NYC. One thing they discovered is that his speech & language part of his brain was normal & undamaged. It had apparently lain dormant all those years after the accident until something, no one knows what, triggered it to start working again....as if something suddenly 'rebooted' his brain and things started working again.
Fascinating, as Spock would say.
It will air again on Oct. 26 & 27, so check your local listings and give it a gander.
