Uploaded on Jun 11, 2010

As I, Amy Mindell, upload the 1st part of this 3 PART INTERVIEW today in 2010, I realize the recorded conversation occurred almost 20 years ago. Still, the essence, innovations, and hope shown in this interview are as important and new today as before. We need to re-think and learn more about how to connect deeply with people in vegetative and comatose states. For more on process oriented coma work, see www.aamindell.net. Thanks to Jeffrey Mishlove for his help with this interview.

Teen Explains What Life is Like in a Coma

Jul 15, 2015

This ABC video report describes the experience of Claire Wineland during her medically-induced coma .

For two weeks Claire Wineland kept picturing herself in Alaska looking at forests, caves and wildlife.

“I remember sitting there and staring at the most beautiful scenery ever for hours and hours … it would be freezing cold but I didn’t care,” she recalled in a recent video. “Turns out I was being ice-packed the whole time.”

While in her mind she was in Alaska, in reality Wineland was in a California hospital in a medically-induced coma. Following a routine surgery, Wineland, who has cystic fibrosis, contracted a dangerous infection called blood sepsis. In the years after her coma, Wineland has started a non-profit and video channel sharing her stories of surviving life as a sick person. She shared her story this week in a video titled “What It’s Like to be in a Coma.”

During those two weeks, Wineland said, she remained aware of noises and people around her.

“Everything that happens in the real world, you hear, you’re aware of,” she said In a new video. “You kind of know what’s going on. But it goes through this weird filter thing… It turns into something else when it hits your consciousness.”
