An amazing story happened in the UK: a dying 32-year-old patient woke up a few hours before she was disconnected from life support. This event shocked the woman's relatives and extremely surprised the doctors.

An unsuccessful suicide attempt ended with brain damage for Emma Price. The media say that the Englishwoman was forced to decide on such a step by bullying at work. After the suicide attempt, she suffered a stroke and was put into an induced coma.

After some time, doctors stated that the patient will not wake up again, and she has no chance of life. Whatever the grief of Emma's parents, but they were forced to resign themselves to it and began to prepare for the funeral.

However, when the woman was about to be taken off life support, she suddenly woke up, opened her eyes and was even able to breathe on her own, without a ventilator, for more than 30 minutes.

While “resurrected” Emma is able to communicate with others only with the help of limited facial expressions and head movements, writes My London.

Price's mother called what happened nothing short of a miracle, saying her daughter is a fighter and will manage to make the difficult road to recovery. “We know our old Emma is not coming back, but we look forward to welcoming the new Emma home,” she said.
