Claimant Found Fit For Work Weeks After Coming Out Of Coma

depending on how long they were in a coma and depending on why they were in one in the first place, determines how long their recovery might take. IF THEY RECOVER … As an ex nurse i can quote a number of instances… 1. young man. in coma 2 years..his legs and arms lost muscle , and became stiff.stuck in one position. if he had lived he would never have walked. . never came out of it. (2. there was another young man as well… tractor tipped over crushing him underneath it. in coma also for 2 years.. he didnt recover). 3.another. 26yr old. also had been in long term coma. again his limbs were in a bad position and no amount of therapy was going to make them better. he came out of his coma (caused by getting knocked down on a zebra crossing day before his wedding day). he was a child again after he came out of it. prognosis? he would never be any different. he was alive, his heart beating. but his brain was badly damaged. he learned again who his family were. but spoke like a child and said childish things he learned as a mantra.he was never to work again. even short term coma patients taken a number of weeks or months to recover . if they had other injuries longer still.
