Sydney shark attack survivor wakes from induced coma after week

At Coogee beach, one of Sydney's most beloved stretches of coastline, a woman was pulled from the water after a shark attack and placed into a medically induced coma — a deliberate pause between injury and survival. More than a week later, she opened her eyes and spoke her first words to the family who had kept vigil beside her. Her emergence from unconsciousness is not yet a resolution, but it is a threshold: proof that the mind endured what the body suffered, and that the story continues.
