BELGIUM-MEDICINE-COMA-HOUGEN-MOTHER


Reproduction picture of Josephine Nicolaas-Houben, the mother of Rom Houben, from recent years since he started to communicate with a specially-adapted computer. Rom Houben, a Belgian man thought to have been in a coma for 23 years has told of his "second birth" after doctors realised he was in fact conscious, a German weekly reported Monday. Medical staff at a hospital in Liege, eastern Belgium, believed Rom Houben had been left in a vegetative state by a serious car accident in 1983, but he was simply paralysed and unable to communicate. The former engineering student and martial arts enthusiast, now 46, told Der Spiegel that he meditated to pass the long years trapped in his own body. AFP PHOTO - BELGA - MICHEL KRAKOWSKI
