 In 1988, Officer Gary Dockery, a police officer from Walden, Tennessee, was sh*t in the head while responding to a domestic dispute. The g*nshot caused severe brain damage, and he fell into a coma that lasted over seven years. 



Then, in February 1996, to everyone’s amazement, Dockery suddenly woke up and began speaking clearly with his family and friends. He recognized his loved ones, recalled old memories, and expressed his love for his sons.

Doctors described his brief recovery as nothing short of a medical miracle, as such awakenings after long-term comas are extremely rare.

 Sadly, just 18 hours later, Dockery slipped back into unconsciousness and never woke again. He passed away in 1997 due to complications from pneumonia. His story remains one of the most remarkable and emotional cases of temporary recovery from a prolonged coma in medical history.
