A Belgian man who doctors thought was in a coma for 23 years was conscious all along, it has been revealed.
"I was shouting, but no-one could hear me," Mr Houben, now 46, was quoted as saying by a German magazine.
"I will never forget the day they discovered me," Mr Houben was quoted as saying. "It was like a second birth."

Mr Laureys said that in about 40% of cases in which people are classified as being in a vegetative state, closer inspection reveals signs of consciousness.
