A Polish man has woken up from a 19-year coma to find the Communist party no longer in power and food no longer rationed, Polish TV reports.
Railway worker Jan Grzebski, 65, fell into a coma after he was hit by a train in 1988. </p>

<p>“Now I see people on the streets with mobile phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin,” he told Polish television…</p>

<p>“When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere,” Mr Grzebski said.

<p>Life imitating art.</p>

<p>The film Good Bye, Lenin! was about a young German man whose mother wakes up from a coma she’s been in before reunification. He’s worried that the shock will kill her so he goes to great lengths to convince her that the old status quo is still in place.</p>

Imagine though looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself. He was mid forties, now he is 65. LOL</p>

Imagine though looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself.

it would be interesting to speculate on what this might mean within the ongoing debate in the philosophy of identity.</p>
