Miraculous Moment as Coma Patient Wakes Up After 27 Years The doctor who treated the woman has
described the moment as "ecstatic." A car crash left Munira Abdulla
in a coma in her native United Emirates in 1991. Due to her serious brain injury, it was believed she would never wake up. But astonishingly, she did last June. Her family has recently gone public with the story to give other people hope who have loved ones in long-term comas. Dr. Friedemann Müller is the head physician where Abdulla was being treated in Germany. Dr. Friedemann Müller, via NBC News Dr. Friedemann Müller, via NBC News
