Man wakes wife from coma - by biting her toes
A Chinese man successfully woke his wife from a coma after 10 years - by biting her toes.
Zhang Kui, of Shenyang, says he tried everything he could think of to wake his wife after she suffered a head injury in an industrial accident.
"I played the radio, sang and talked to her, even tickled her, but nothing worked," he told the Liao Sheng Evening Post.
"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."
He started gently biting her toes and has been doing so regularly for the last 10 years - until she suddenly squeezed his wrist.
"I got goose bumps. It was like a dead person suddenly gripping your hand," he said.
His wife, Lv Fengshuang, can now move her arms and smile, although she is still unable to speak.
The couple have been married for 27 years and Zhang is now hoping for another miracle - to hear her voice again.
