Trapped in a Coma: Fully Aware but Unabl...

Devorah Roloff
About this episode

Imagine being trapped in your own body—unable to move, speak, or respond—while everyone around you believes you're gone. This is the terrifying reality one man faced after being diagnosed with a terminal brain disease that left him in a coma. Doctors thought he was brain dead, but inside, he was fully conscious, aware of every conversation, every tear, and every moment slipping away.
