Rip Van Winkleski
You gotta love stories like this:
A Polish man who spent 19 years in a coma awoke to a whole new world, but he said people still find things to complain about. “When I went into a coma, there was only tea and vinegar in the shops,” Jan Grzebski, 65, told a Polish news channel. “Meat was rationed and there were huge petrol queues everywhere.”“Now I see people on the streets with cellphones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin,” he Grzebski said. “What amazes me is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and yet they never stop moaning.”
Enough is never enough.
Grzebski, a railway worker, went into a coma after he was hit by a train in 1988. Doctors predicted he would live for two or three years. His wife moved him every hour for 19 years so he wouldn’t get bedsores, The Independent reported.
A similar idea was the basis for a wonderful German film comedy (yes, there are some) called Good Bye Lenin!
