It's so sad how all his old friends abandoned him when he needed them most. What a strong young lad to seek out help with the challenges he faces in his life now.
How do you guys not have more views and subs? This is the most quality worth-while content I've ever seen on youtube. I've watched several of your videos now and they are very well done.
Thanks for your kind words aquandarylife88! We really appreciate your support and will pass on this comment on to the team. Thanks again for watching and stay tuned!
Really deplorable that his "friends" abandoned him after the accident. I hope George has more compassionate people in his life, and makes better friends in the future. He seems like a really charming fellow, so I think his future is bright.
baragouinify it's difficult to blame his friends because he is a completely different person and they were just young people who are probably traumatised by their friends change. I hope, like you he meets new friends that can relate to him.
Hey George hope things are going well for you when u read this, Iv been thru the same thing I too was 21 bright smart and the world was my oyster. Lost all my friends an after I woke from coma I grew from a infant toddler etc. Well I'd like to invite you to my page Adapt-Traumatic Brain Injury on Facebook please join and share your story you are amazing.
Still sounds extremely intelligent especially considering what he has been through. Please do not refer to those persons as his FRIENDS. All the best to you George.
I understand the abandonment from my marriage after 32 years however I was the fault for that she lost everything took enough about me its not my video all day I think to myself adapt to the world don't adapt the world to me. And is the reason I am out of my wheelchair and walking with cane sometimes without ok goodbye and pardon my presumptuous comment.
Despite his loss of senses, George is doing quite well and looks very handsome despite his injuries. He's a good lad. New better friends will come his way soon.
I can't even see his scars and he certainly hasn't lost his looks is still an extremely handsome guy. He's doing incredibly well when you think of what he's been through. I'd love to know how He is now.
Well done i had severe brain injury in 2008,stayed in hospital for 4 month,2018 i am still not recovered but i hope one day i will fully recover from this.
@@jewel_throne2950 sadly most people if not all never fully recover. The brain isn't like your muscles, bones, or skin. It never truly heals and becomes what it once was.
I understand what George is going through. My friends abandoned me too. I look normal to everyone who meets me. He is fortunate in the care he is given. It has been hard for me to get the care I need. I still need a lot of help with social skills and other things. I present so well, doctors just think I need counseling. My short term memory is very bad, and I don't remember new people names ever, and it take a very long time to remember their names, so I just say hey or hi to people I know and don't use names. :(
Hey Meagan, thanks for watching our video, we're sorry to hear what you're going through. We hope that George's story helped helped to reassure you that you're not the only one.
Well done George. My grandaughter also was in a car crash. She was in hospital for 6 weeks and then Laura Ferguson Rehab centre for 2mths. We are lucky to have her in our lives still. It has been a year now and she has just turned 18. Her recovery has been a journey but every week has been a milestone. I hope your recovery has gone or is going well.
Thanks, George. You're doing very well, and I wish you the best and much happiness going forward. Above all, thanks for the message. You may have saved a life or two. ;) Keep on shining!
Mine was a pretty bad stroke in 2014 and I recognize so much of this in myself - Impressed with New Zealsnd support systems It's not uncommon for spouses to decide they can't cope with the changes and shove off. in my case, my wonderful wife died the year before, but I know she would have always been here for me if she possibly could have
Imagine what it's like to wake up one day and you aren't yourself. The memories, thoughts, feelings, everything that makes you, you is gone, twisted, lost. That's a brutally bitter pill to swallow.
Hey George i've been really inspired watching you. i'm sorry your friends weren't around for you, but you know you will find better friends and you will find a beautiful girl one day who will be understanding and nicer than who you had before. Keep strong George!
I wish George a speedy recovery. I know it's tough and difficult but tay strong and don't let negative thoughts work on you 🤜🏻🤛🏻 . I also have problem with left eye also my left eye and take a closer look my left eye look little smaller than right one . 🙏🏻
I have 50 percent brain damage from a massive stroke and aneurism at the same time. I know I had an out of body experience and there's no heaven and there's no hell. I lost family job house and savings also physical fitness cuz I was a body builder but I am living on my own now so I am making a little progress what's wierd is I have a full understanding about astrophysics so much I put it in an algebra equation for an denifinative explanation
Aww baby x Gawjus sweetheart Heart breaks for you That's the case PEOPLE aren't willing to understand You are a gawjus person what makes you beautiful is the strength to keep fighting Much love to u darling boy @♡♡♡
Life is unforgiving. I contrast this video with that of a mother who lost 3 children in a single car accident when a drunk driver killed her family. Though I have a modicum of sympathy for this person and his mates, I don't feel sorry for him. He's damn lucky his poor decision making and self-absorbed mentality did not result in the deaths of innocent people.
I remember that in one of your other videos there was a guy named tekaha that was always laughing after his brain injury. I kind of see a connection now. It amazes me that an injury to the brain can cause a "growth/change" in humour
my person the one beofr I became this one after my accident run over whilst cycling has sort of stepped to one side and let this one take over my coma was three weeks and when I woke i was in such shock I tried to jump out of the window of the hospita social stuff is my struggle i have frontal lobe damage/epilesy and I cant read more than a few lines, tierdness is the same as George i eat the same things every day I have no friends anymore just people that I meet in cafe nero they think I`m rude and my girlfrien is my carer, I cant go in "supermarkets"
Wait for 20 more years. Alcohol and pharmaceutical industries have exerted gigantic influence on the politicians so much so that weed is classified as schedule 1 substance similar to heroin. When the old narrow minded greedy politicians will be gone weed will be legal everywhere.
The guy looks very mature, sensitive and very intelligent for having such an impact in the prefrontal cortex. Good luck to him. He doesn't act childish whatsoever.
Oh my gosh, i thougt that this is another person, who just touch to his brain, and get severe depressed due to it and nk have symptomps. But it turns, that this guy really have brain injury, because in other cases, theres just touch to brain
Makes me feel lucky I to have a mental age my personality is no good i can't socialise I had to do my year 4 again I can't smell see through my left eye at my side maths I can't do I av bad ears I was left in a coma I had a blood transfusion I had to b rushed back into the operation room because I had brain fluid leaking through my ears and noes the cut me ear to ear pulled my face faward glued up my ears n noes I had a afterlife dream premonition it was about me waking up in a brighten room like blinding bright and I was on a cold ass floor with no clothes on I was a new born at the same time being the 5 years old looking observing my self from the roof ceiling and there 3 ladies looking through the panel window on the door was waving at me I was screaming my heart out wondering why these 3 ladies were leaving me if they were waving at me I did this 3 times each time I died I realised now that they were waving at me not in the hopes of them being ill mannered or waving because they were coming to pick me up but rather they were waving good by because it wasn't my time yet I really also think that one of them were my grandmother in law seems strange I know but I'm almost 100,% on that one so yes I was 5 I was looking out the window which was full of algi and I was told to be careful because my twin was to be getting some pegs for a tent my cousin built so my cousin went telling me to b careful so I'm on the 3rd floor and there were a celler and celler steps on the outside and of course I was wondering if I did fall maybe I could be like dumbo lol yes I'm the dumbo and as quick as I thought that I fell head first on concrete steps I broke my skull open and I remember that when the brigade I think may be paramedic came to safe me they explained it as they had to pick up the glass so were making every effort to pick it up it wasn't glass they were picking up but my skull. I half recovered but I suffer with so many things I have fibromyalgia and 2017 they diagnosed me of a bilateral frontal lobe gliosis my brain is slowly dieing which both are diseases that r not curable I say things I forget in a split second I'm in constant pain I'm bedridden because I can't sit on my but as I feel as if my spine is crunching on me I'm 38 and use a mobility scooter so once was so independent with 1 child now I have 3 and from my first where I could sholder ride my son for great lengths I could dance for least 6 hours straight I was single I was so independent I could use a electric tree cutter thing and they stood least 15 feet from ground to sky and it took so much effort they were so overgrown maintenance hard u had to have a chair to stand on as well as have my both arms up in the air I was size 8 which is size 6 in USA size and I'm nothing like the pretty person on the outside in and even then I never fell nothing myself its hard to think highly of myself back in the day I was thin and never had a Inch of fat on me I was proud of that as I lost weight all my baby fat from b giving birth well I had a c section point is when u mum don't accept u u will find it hard to love and accept your self but dang I thought I hated myself then know I dispise myself I have 3 kids one who lives with his dad hec is 22 years and I have a 15 and a10 year old to my husband so it's hard when I only get 20 days out the year feeling ok
I do not feel sorry for him drunk drivers are responsible for a lot of deaths they could have easily killed somebody that's why I don't feel sorry for him it's easy to feel sorry for him because he didn't kill anybody due to his drunk driving but in reality he got what he deserved and he knows it
It's so sad how all his old friends abandoned him when he needed them most. What a strong young lad to seek out help with the challenges he faces in his life now.

Wow, I'm sending this video to my 16 yr old son in like two seconds. What a wonderful young guy, some powerful words. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Deirdre! Hope you enjoyed the episode and your son finds it valuable!

Agreed. Disgusting people. To be honest, as a young person I'm often so ashamed of people my age,
probably the same mates that encouraged him to drink that night.

I have a head injury
Nobody believes you because they can't see like a broken
Keep fighting the good fight. Stray strong. Lots of respect.
I'm in the same place as him I had a serious injury a few years ago and this pushes me to keep going

And is the reason I am out of my wheelchair and walking with cane sometimes without ok goodbye and pardon my presumptuous comment.
I get so invested in these. I want to know more! How is he doing now? I can't be the only one wondering.
I know, they never do updates
Very handsome young man with a gorgeous smile!! God bless him and his family ❤
Just saw this in recommendations. Charming boy. I hope he is well.
He sounds fairly good considering that his brain is in such a bad way.
those of us with brain injury find ways to cover up what we can no longer do.
he's incredible and super handsome and still very intelligent. I hope the best for him!
Thanks again for the support Kimberly, glad to see you're enjoying the episodes!

He seems incredibly mature to me, given a lot of young men his age! Really nice guy.
Thanks for your kind words Sonya!

Drinking and driving. People need to learn from George!

That poor kid.

Maybe we should make alcohol illegal and weed legal. People on weed don't drive fast.

Sex drugs BRAIN DAMAGE 🥺
How about medications medicine?? 😔I’m on antidepressants and anxiety pills my doctor gaved me...
Sex "alters" ur brain, not damaging it. I'm not sure about the other things.
