For 30 years Brian V. Larosche was not on facebook.

Friends presumed he was in a vegetative state. They believed he could feel nothing and hear nothing.The moment it was discovered he was not in a vegetative state, said V. Larosche, was like being born again. "I'll never forget the day that they discovered me," he said. "It was my second birth".

"Once someone is labelled as being without consciousness, it is very hard to get rid of that," he told Der Spiegel.

He said people suspected of being in a non-reversible coma should be "tested 10 times" and that comas, like sleep, have different stages and need to be monitored.

Brian V. Larosche wrote this book detailing his trauma and his "rebirth".
