Man Wakes Up From Coma After Smelling Money
Mysterious Universe
Paul Seaburn
This is the kind of thing that makes young people decide it’s not worth it to spend years in medical school and rack up huge student debts to become doctors. A man in Shenzhen, China, who had been in a coma for over a year was suddenly jolted back to consciousness when someone held a new 100 yuan note under his nose.
According to Central European News, in August 2013 Xiao Li spent a week in an Internet café working round the clock without stopping for sleep. When he finally did pass out, he couldn’t be awakened and was declared to be in a coma. None of the usual medications or treatments for coma worked on Li.
Hoping to get a reaction with a sensory stimulus, the hospital’s chief medic Dr. Liu Tang asked Li’s family for some help.
We had asked his family what really drove him, and they were very clear that it was money.
