PSG player who was accidentally given wrong injection still in coma after 40 years Jean-Pierre Adams walked himself into the hospital on March 17, 1982 to undergo surgery on the knee injury he had suffered. About four decades later, he has been in coma as a result of the unsuccessful operation he underwent when he was 34-years-old. The player is still in a coma to this day, aged 73. In some ways, Adams’ state is similar to the famous Vincent Lambert case. Lambert was a nurse who got involved in a fatal road accident in 2008. After a decade of fighting between two opposite sides of his family on whether he should be kept alive or euthanised, he was finally allowed to die from starvation in 2019. But Bernadette Adam’s wife, is romantically adamant to killing her husband through euthanasia and will not give up on him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM92-cMlObQ/?igshid=1gmgh0o3rfrza • Support Paul Ikpe Blog PIB By Sharing, Liking & Commenting
