243: Scott woke up from a coma


Listen Later

I
wonder if this ever happens to you.


Maybe

you’re visiting someone and you’re staying overnight. Or you’re
on a trip and you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb. And that
first time you wake up, you have a brief few seconds where you’re a
little disoriented. Like, “Hey, where am I? This is not my bedroom.
This is not my bed”. But then it comes back to you – oh yeah, I’m
away from home right now.


I

would think it would be even worse if you woke up and realized you’re
in a hospital bed.


For

the podcast, I typically don’t do stories that are mainly centered
around the guest being in a coma. It’s an interesting concept for
sure, but just the fact that someone was in a coma would make for a
difficult episode. I mean, how can you tell a detailed story when you
were asleep for most of it?


Today

we’re going to hear from Scott. He was in a coma for a while. And
then he had that experience of trying to figure out “why am I in a
hospital...what is going on”. But his story is not really about him
being in a coma.


It’s

about what the doctor told him when he woke up.
