A Polish man who was in a coma for 19 years finally woke up on May 1.
Jan Grzebski, a man who worked for the Polish railroad company, was hit by a train in 1988. At that time he went into a coma.
Grzebski’s wife, Gertruda, took care of him and was the reason he was still alive.
He woke up to a totally different world. He was surprised that the Communists are no longer in charge and even more surprised to find out he had 11 grandchildren. When he went into the coma, he had four children and no grandchildren.
Doctors said they had expected Grzebski would never wake up from his coma.
“What amazes me today is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and never stop moaning. I’ve got nothing to complain about,” said Grzebski. (Jason Cox, Staff Writer with AFP)
波蘭一名男子昏迷了十九年，終於在五月一日清醒。
任職於波蘭鐵路公司的詹．格賽斯基一九八八年遭火車衝撞，自此陷入昏迷。
全多虧妻子葛楚妲的照顧，他才能存活迄今。
他醒來時人事全非，對共產黨不再掌權大感詫異，發現自己已有十一名孫子女，更令他吃驚。他陷入昏迷時已育有四名子女，但尚未當祖父。
醫生表示，他們原本預期格賽斯基不會再從昏迷中清醒。
格賽斯基說︰「今日讓我訝異的是，所有人都帶著手機趴趴走，而且怨聲不斷。我沒什麼好抱怨的。」 （翻譯︰賴美君）
