Why might someone try to put themselves contained by a short occupancy coma.?

I have a friend who just got out of the hospital for an insulin overdose that resulted within a coma. I know that he wouldn't do that for fun, also the amount was perfectly measured to only induce a short coma. (this excludes suicide) When I asked him why he did it he said that it be because he wanted to try it. I know that's not true. He obviously did it because he needed to. (and no he dosent have diabetes, so I know it wasn't an accident)

Why would some one ever need/want to be within a coma for a few hours.

He wanted to time warp!

It's similar to a high, I guess. Maybe his life is awful and want to forget about it for a couple of hours?

I think your friend has serious mental health issues. Insulin overdose sounds resembling a suicide attempt, especially if the person was not a diabetic. (no matter how he denies it)
He be lucky he didn't end up with permanent brain interfere with from hypoglycemia.
In the hospital we do put people in medically induced comas under outstandingly controlled conditions, usually for traumatic brain injuries or severe infections of one kind or another. They are always supported by mechanical exposure to air for breathing, and their vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, urine output, blood pressure) are measured continuously. Source(s): RN
