"Nel prescribed Stilnox, the brand name in South Africa for zolpidem [In USA, Ambien.] "I crushed it up and gave it to him in a bottle with a soft drink," Sienie recalls. "He couldn't swallow properly then, but I helped him and sat at his bedside. After about 25 minutes, I heard him making a sound like 'mmm'. He hadn't made a sound for five years.
"Then he turned his head in my direction. I said, 'Louis, can you hear me?' And he said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Say hello, Louis', and he said, 'Hello, mummy.' I couldn't believe it. I just cried and cried."
Hughes was called over and other staff members gathered in disbelief. "Sienie told me he was talking and I said he couldn't be - it wasn't possible," she recalls. "Then I heard him."

This is truly a remarkable finding - the implications are HUGE. If the reports are true, it's possible that this medication is having the same effect on stroke and hypoxia victims, some years later.
This would indeed be a miracle worthy of praising God!

I wouldn't be surprised if this couldn't be a treatment for coma, strokes--this hypnotic can do some wonderful things with insomiacs, but can have some very strange side effects.
Anyway--high hopes, and ka-ching!! (I've got some money on pharms).

We have always been told there is no recovery from persistent vegetative state - doctors can only make a sufferer's last days as painless as possible. I'm just curious how exactly does forced starvation and dehydration fits into this?

The discovery of zolpidem's miraculous awakenings happened in 1999? I'm sorry, but I'm resentful that nobody thought to contact Terri Schindler Schiavo's parents or doctors. One of the most famous "PVS" patients in the world, over whose life a legal battle was fought and lost. While the news about zolpidem is incredible and amazing, I am very disheartened that nobody tried this on Terri (at least, to my knowledge).
