This is the strangest thing I've heard of in a while. I'm from Queensland so I know about problems with the health system but this is ridiculous. :eek:

'Dead' man wakes during autopsy

A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.

Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realise something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly started to stitch up the incision on his face.

"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body, only to find him moved into a corridor - and alive.

It does happen from time to time, but not as frequently as fractured ribs from well meaning people with first aid certificates jumping on the chests of people who have fainted.

Yeah, technically he has all he needs to get his life insurance payment, the death certificate... Lol!

It's almost like the Doc in Catch 22.

Just goes to show how little your body needs to do to survive in a deep coma.
 
That does it - I am definetely getting cremated. But just to make sure before they start up the oven, I gonna request that some one shouts in my ear (verrry loudly) that there is free beer at the Moon and Sixpence!!

(Hey, I will even buy them)

Cheers (really)
 
Speaking of waking up the dead!

This thread was in an advanced state of decay before being exhumed! LOL

Speaking from experience GG ??
 
Several hundred years ago a Church cemetery was moved to make way for a road. In checking some of the coffins they found scratch marks indicating the persons had been buried alive.

A woman who managed to bang the inside of a coffin as they lowered it into her grave, decided that they must leave a cord in her hand attached to a bell at the surface when she finally died. Relatives stayed at the grave for 7 days when she finally died, or died again, this time they heard nothing.
This is where the saying "saved by the bell" came from.
 
There is so much BSh1t in the media...I wonder if people actually see the punch line.

1. The coroner can't do his job properly. Should be sacked:cautious:

2. After a short period of time the human body turns off. This guy was not rushed in before more serious cases, he is of no apparent standing to jump the queue.:eek:

3. People are far more gullible than any animal - including sheep:eek:

4. The media will use any means to sell and maintain presence.:cool:
 
"He woke up because of the incedible pain"

He should thank them for actually doing something painful to him instead of just burying him.

Agree, he should be thankful, everyone is after an angle to sue, even the nearly dead.
