I have to echo that I'm drained by this, emotionally. All of my friends have been either losing or having the threat of losing their jobs, my own is in question, a couple close friends are dealing with, albeit minor, medical issues of their own.
So when I saw the original post, I felt shattered.
When I read about his 'heart stopping' episode, I was made to re-live that shattering feeling of having a close friend die from a botched heart surgery. He too was in a coma, woke up briefly, and passed away after a series of cardiac arrests that evening.
So for me, it hit a raw nerve, and while I didn't know this person, I did follow the story closely and like many others hoped he'd wake up. I sent all the good vibes I could.
So I'm taking what others have from this experience. I have a bit of my faith in humanity restored in seeing how genuinely concerned people here were. The support I saw in the main thread was quite incredible.
I hope this fellow gets some help. Some serious help. Its obvious that there's some degree of mental anguish or trauma going on with him. But I'm happy in that I won't ever have to see him post again. Not after this level of emotional fraud.
