The Story Of Jean-Pierre Adams, A Footballer In Coma For 37 Years

This is the story of a footballer who has been in coma for 37 yrs.

Jean Adams, a French footballer, has been in coma for 37years- due to a mistake his doctor made while putting him to sleep for a surgery to repair a torn ligament.

His wife Bernadette, who he married in 1969 still stays by his bed till today.

A story of love, pain and of tears. I ran into the story this morning- and it really just broke my heart.

The wife tends for him, look after him, feed him and with the help of nurses and physiotherapists who come everyday- she’s able to bathe him and provide 24hours a day care.

The interesting but sad part to this story is the said doctor and his colleague only went to jail for a month and was fined about 815 dollars.
That’s all.

For an error that has cost a man his entire life, cost his family a father and a husband and cost the world a great athlete.
We will never know of true love- if things always work out and nothing tests our resolve.

Love is an action word.
Love is not just roses and vacations.
Love is basically giving up yourself and your life, if need be, for someone else.

That woman is a gem �
And will always be.
