Hello,

I hope i'm okay to do this here, and its the right place. I guess i'm looking for advice on how to deal with a situation. This is a situation i have been involved with strictly on the internet.

Essentially a friend of mine, has a friend in her life they have known each other for 3-4 years. I've know my friend online 4 months, and known and interacted with her friend for 1 month. Recently we went through an ordeal where her friend has an accident and was in a 'coma' and is now awake. I'll just give some flavour of what i have seen in just the month. All this information is passed on by my friend, ive met this other friend too in a virtual world, and shes talked of the first 2 i have been around for, the car accident happened recently

These two happens in the 3 weeks until Wednesday.
She got Assaulted - not many details, just she got assaulted and needed comforting
She got attacked and her arm manged by a dog.

these two items i told happened previously.

She got stabbed earlier in the year and got discharged in a game.
She got misdiagnosed with meningitis.

So i was told the below by my friend as to the current situation from last Wednesday onwards in the order the information was fed to me. I was obviously comforting my friends through it, but as the story rolled on my suspicions arose. These details were relayed by my friend from the girl in a comas partner.

1. She was hit by a car. (Thusday)
2. Shes in a coma and they dont know if she'll wake. (Thursday)
3. She had some fluid drained from her brain via her spine to relieve pressure. (thursday)
4. The doctors were in dispute one thought she might have cervical cancer and wake up, the other said she didn't and might die. (Friday)
5. the accident was deliberate and she was hit and went through a glass window, she people involved were arrested by the girls partner, who is ex military and put in a military prison. (friday)

From 5 onwards we were online when the information was revealed - me and another friend confronted her about the suspicions and then this happened an hour or two later, while we were still in the virtual world, the updates were from the girls partner, This was on saturday.

5. They said her brain was active but her body was slipping away. so my friend was asked to provide voice mails of support.
6 when my friend asked for a picture of the coma girl, in return, 15 minutes past and the girl had a seizure.
7. During the seizure a former army medic buddy of the partner showed up, diagnosed as some glass fragments pressing on the brain, operated and she should be awake by the end of the day.

At this point my friend was inline with us saying it was fishy and believing us.

Sunday was quiet, on Monday morning my time (midnight the coma girls time) i had an update that she was home, sore, housebound and had to rest, and my friend was now directly in contact with her and that it was all true as she had provided my friend a discharge sheet. This caused me and my friend to fall out as she is saying i used a moment where she was weak to turn her against this friend in the coma.

We talked today and are going to see where it goes, she maintains that her friends proof is indisputable. further updates are that they are going to sue the doctor for the cancer misdiagnosis. And that she actually had Destroyed ovaries before this accident so she could never get that cancer.

Im sure i made mistakes going to my friend without proof, but the story just twas so fantastic, and my friend 100% believes in it now, i obviously do not.

I don't know how to deal with it, to just blindly ignore it and be friends, and im even questioning myself, for questioning it all as my friend is that convinced. My friend even wants me to try to get on this with girl from the coma in this virtual world as they have known each other for 4 years.

i don't know what to do,
