There are few people who are worth their place on this planet. Rom Houben is one of those.
The Belgian man, surviving a horific car crash was thought to be in a vegetative state for 23 years, however he was conscious all along..he has lived in a state of non-communication with the outisde world until now. I admire this man.
If Esther Rantzen was still alive i’m sure a ‘heart of gold’ badge would be winging its way to Liege. And deservedly so.
After a new head scan, doctors found that his brain was active and he can now communicate using a special keypad.
It made me think of other so called ‘vegetables’
and the stories they might tell if they were given special keypads.
Fotunately for Rom, he is from belgium, so he didn’t actually miss anything.
