Music Helped My Partner Back From Coma

Ellen Murphy played music at her partner's hospital bed to try to bring him out of a coma.

Seven years ago, Jamie McKechnie was the victim of an unprovoked attack in London and suffered a serious brain injury. He was in a coma for nine weeks and doctors gave him a 30 percent chance of living. Jamie's girlfriend, soul singer Ellen Murphy, played music to him to try bring him back from his coma.
