Kai Thomas, 15, fell into a coma last year after bleeding in the brain. The teenager underwent surgery to reduce intracranial pressure.
Doctors artificially induced a coma so that the body could recover better. But the outcome of this recovery period shocked both doctors and the patient's family, notes The Daily Mail.
Waking up after 9 days, the young man could neither move nor speak. Gradually, the functions recovered, but the unexpected side effects of the coma appeared.
First, a real addiction to cheese developed. Secondly, the teenager began to use foul language, although he had not allowed himself to do so before. In general, a calm disposition suppressed aggressiveness.
According to doctors, patients respond differently to brain injury and coma. Physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral problems may occur. And, if the outbursts of aggression can be explained, then the unhealthy love for cheese cannot. The young man even adds it to oatmeal.
