Polish coma victim wakes to a different world

Independent on Sunday, The,  Jun 3, 2007  

A 65-year-old railwayman who fell into a coma in Poland 19 years ago has regained consciousness to find communism replaced with a rampant market economy. Wheelchair-bound Jan Grzebski said: "When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere.

Now I see people on the streets with cell phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin."
