      • I think he's referring to the fact that the whositwhatits and whatshisname come right out and tell him that, "No, we can not make your legs work again."

        • Who do you folks think Coldhands is?
          Spoiler:
          I don't think he's Benjen Stark, I feel like he's older than that.

          • Benjen is the obvious choice, but he's partly the obvious choice because, well, there are no other obvious choices that would be as meaningful.

            • I've heard other people suggest he is the Nights King, and I'm somewhat inclined to agree, although Benjen is a likely option. I actually think we'll see Benjen Stark in the next book--I'm pretty sure he's the one that left the dragonglass at the Fist of the First Men.

                Because it's a fantasy book not a science book.

                That said, there's only a small-ish positive reason to assume there is or was one: the visual impressions of the burning ruins of Winterfell as seen through the eyes of Summer the direwolf mention a winged snake, but who knows what that could mean.

                  Medically... less than plausible. But, it is a fantasy novel.
                  Medically less than plausible? I dare you to do that with one of your patients. Just don't tell anyone I told you to do it.

                    He fell backwards from a height that looked to be about 2 stories and landed on his back. Such a fall could easily have resulted in brain contusions. Since his legs don't work but his arms do he apparently also sustained an injury to his spinal cord in the thoracic area.

                            Speaking of "medically less than plausible", it greatly annoys me that the doctors use leeches to heal.

                              You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

                                Ah, thanks. Makes sense. Question, though--how often do people recover from comas?
