An update of a sort - my doctor told me yesterday that Ambien (the US  
brand name for the drug referenced here) is now available as a  
generic.  So when Wal-Mart rolls out its $4 generic prescription  
program to your area, you might be able to get it there if you want  
to try it.

"We have always been told there is no recovery from persistent  
vegetative state - doctors can only make a sufferer's last days as  
painless as possible. But is that really the truth? Across three  
continents, severely brain-damaged patients are awake and talking  
after taking ... a sleeping pill. And no one is more baffled than the  
GP who made the breakthrough. Steve Boggan witnesses these 'strange  
and wonderful' rebirths"
