A South African nurse has discovered a novel way of resuscitating patients in a coma.
On the 16th of July 2025, Nurse Nomsa Mgilane from Mpumalanga working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) department where patients are not responsive at all found a way to make patients wake up from a coma. She said she discovered this while she was working the night shift and alone with one patient.
She placed her nipple inside the mouth of a male patient, and the patient, who was in a coma for four months, woke up licking their lips. She did it to another patient just to prove her theory, and the other patient woke up saying “Ngiphe futhi mama” after he woke up eight months later from a coma.
The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg looked into her night shift doings and found out that the breast has nerve endings that could trigger the brain to come back to life and actually wake up patients from coma.
Nurse Nomsa Mgilane encourages all female nurses to practice this and save as many lives as possible.
Another groundbreaking scientific discovery from South Africa.
