Chinese man wakes wife from 10-year coma by biting toe!

London, Dec 2 : A Chinese man was left stunned when he woke his wife from a 10-year coma by nibbling on her toes.

Zhang Kui's wife of 27 years Lu Fengshuang fell into coma after she suffered a head injury in an industrial accident.

Zhang, of Shenyang, who had tried everything under the heaven to wake his wife from playing music, speaking to her, tickling her, finally woke her up by nibbling on her toes.

"I then recalled someone saying that the feet are the home for many nerves, I wondered if I could wake her up by biting her feet," The Telegraph quoted Kui, as telling the Liao Sheng Evening Post.

Kui revealed it was incredible to see his wife wake up from the coma, who clinched his hand after he nibbled on her toes.

"I got goose bumps. It was like a dead person suddenly gripping your hand," he said.

The next challenge for Kui is to hear his wife's voice again.

His undoubted loyalty of 10-years by her bedside finally paid off. How can doctors explain this??? The medical breakthrough - LOVE CONQUERS MANY, MANY THINGS. If only more people can spare more time to cultivate their LOVE for each other, this will be a much healthier world.

People come out of comas all the time. This fellow just happened to have her toes in his mouth when she came out of hers. Ain't love grand...

I hope she didn't have toe jam. He might end up with toe and mouth disease.

You'd be a very depressing prophet Cliffy .

there is a lot of anecdotal evidence for this kind of thing. patients waking from comas after a particular stimulus was provided. it's usually a stimulus which has a strong emotional content. The brain surely is a very complex thing.
