Strange as it may sound, a person from Ayrshire County, Scotland, recently woke up from a two-week coma experiencing a unique form of hallucination. This is his tale.
A man wakes from coma thinking he is a millionaire
When Mark Gibbs awoke, he thought he had won an incredible Rs 52 lakh and had met celebrities and billionaires, but his reality had taken an odd turn. Because of the widespread attention that Gibbs’ tale has already received, he can spread awareness of the negative effects of alcohol and drug usage.
The episode started when Mark was found dozing off at his house in April 2023. After he was taken to the hospital, medical professionals determined that his excessive alcohol and drug usage had caused serious liver and kidney damage. He later fell into a coma and spent the next two weeks in severe condition.
A man was sad to discover that his money and celebrity interactions were merely illusions
Upon regaining consciousness, Mark experienced intense delusions, believing himself to be very wealthy. He saw millionaires, businessmen, and other influential people as close friends who yearned to see him in person in his hallucinations.
Mark had similar fantasies about being extraordinarily wealthy and leading a lavish lifestyle. Eager to share his apparent good fortune, Mark excitedly told his family about his unexpected money and high-profile connections.
The family was left in disbelief when the truth was eventually revealed and they witnessed the terrible effects of their loved one’s hallucinations.
During a media interview, Mark expressed his disappointment at realising that his wealth and relationships with celebrities were only delusions.
The Scottish Sun claims that he is now advising people to use caution and refrain from using drugs and alcohol to prevent similar circumstances and possibly fatal consequences.
