I can second this. While in college, my Mom was hit by a drunk driver and spent over a month in a coma. Every day they pressured the family to pull the plug. They said she had little to no brain activity.

While changing her sheets, they dropped her and she screamed and woke up. She didn't recognize her parents or friends for several weeks. But it all eventually came back to her. (My Dad dated her before the accident, and they have adorable stories about what she remembered when he came to visit her.) Doctors said she would be mentally impaired. She finished college and got her Masters. Doctors said she wouldn't be able to walk. She ran marathons and coached softball.

It took years, but she healed 100%. Doctors don't know shit. They would have killed her if my Grandma hadn't been a tiny velociraptor.
