Story of** Terri Wallis** of Arkansas (USA) A Persistent Vegetative (Now Called Minimally Conscious) State Like Jawad Pasha of Pakistan
This was 2003, an American auto mechanic from Arkansas state named Terry Wallis rocked the scientific community when he reemerged from a vegetative state after 19 years.In reality, when Terry started to talk, he was not in a vegetative state, but a new classification of arousal documented in 2002 and referred to as minimally conscious.Today - with the help of people like Terry Wallis - they stand poised to unlock one of the longest-sealed gateways in human history: the doorway to consciousness.
On July 13th, 1984, Terry Wallis and two of his closes friends went driving through the Ozark Mountains in their home state of Arkansas. No one knows precisely why, but their truck lost control on a back woods road and spun out. Ramping a guardrail backwards, it slalomed into a gully, shot down a slope and plunged over the face of a cliff. The truck arced through the air and began to drop. Seconds later, it impacted with the packed gravel and jagged stones of a dried-up river bed more than thirty feet below.
He was twenty years old - a lanky, black-haired, fun-loving self-proclaimed hillbilly. When he didn't have half his body stuck under the hood of a car, . But the crash delivered a massive blow to Terry's head. By the time rescuers were able to pull him from the gorge, he had already slipped into a coma.
He was shifted to a nearby hospital

In itself, this would make for a great story. But in many ways, it's just the tip of the iceberg. In very short order, Terry Wallis had shaken the foundations of science, causing neurologists around the world to revise their notions on how the human brain functions
I have read this story yesterday and those who are reading the story of **Jawad Pasha **since last three months can understand now how correct we are ?
I knew only fereral Government of USA is spending more than sixty billions dollars and if we count other sources they are spending more than a hundred at brain injury but you can seethe results and I am surprised that no one is intrested in Jawad Pasha's case which is a very rare example in these matters.
