haha I like this guy.

I can't even fathom how large his hospital bill must be. 18 years in a hospital... must have a rich family.

I think you can be in comatose in the comfort of your own home as long as you get some regular scheduled in-home maintenance.

That's amazing! If I'm in that sort of situation I hope someone just pulls the plug on me, though.

Terrible, the daughter must have some serious emotional problems because of this.

There's no plug to pull. He probably had a stomach tube implanted, so he was fed via that method, and probably wore depends diapers.

Terry Wallis, now 39, was riding with a friend in July 1984 when their car left the road and plunged into a creek.

Left the road? You don't say...
