After 200 days in a coma, Xiao Li’s health was fading.
When his body began to react to mild pain stimulus one day, a nurse had a genius idea.
The South China Morning Post reports a nurse waved a 100 yuan bill (which equates to about $16) in front of Li’s face, while a hospital staffer told him he’d have to grab the money if he wanted it.
As unlikely as it sounds, the trick worked. According to the New York Post, Xiao slowly raised a hand and, a few minutes later, was able to grasp the bill.
Perhaps Li just has a mind for money.
He’d first arrived at the hospital in August 2013 after experiencing severe cerebral hemorrhages while playing games at an Internet café in Shenzhen, China, and fell into a coma.
There’s no word on whether anyone actually gave him the 100 yuan, after all.
