A 62-year-old woman ‘came back from the dead’ in a morgue and was rushed to intensive care – only to die again several hours later from hypothermia. The grandmother had been drinking with relatives at a party in Vasilyevka, Russia, when she appeared to have passed away. A policeman then certified her as dead and took her ‘body’ in a hearse to the morgue.
However, the woman was still alive – and started moving while a morgue worker tried to fit a tag to the foot of her ‘corpse’. ‘The woman came to life’, she said.
The morgue worker immediately called an ambulance and paramedics spent 40 minutes trying to resuscitate the woman. It was found that she had suffered from ‘extreme cold’ in the morgue, chief doctor Mikhail Danilov said. She was then taken to intensive care at Belogorsk hospital but later died the same day after suffering from ‘hypothermia’, the region’s health ministry said.
Medics say if she had received prompt medical care instead of being taken to the morgue, she might have survived. Police have now launched an investigation into her death.
A health official said the policeman at the scene had broken rules by failing to call an ambulance and only certifying the woman as dead himself. ‘The police officer did not call for an ambulance, as required by instructions,’ said an official. ‘He certified the death on his own, called the undertaker’s and sent the body to the morgue without accompanying documents.’
BOYD Ping!................
doctor must have been as drunk as the patient.
OMG
In America, this would be a huge lawsuit.
In Russia, they shrug their shoulders and move on.
It was a policeman that made the ‘diagnosis of death’....................
One death is a tragedy.................a million deaths is a statistic...............
In Russia, morgue kill YOU.
Apparently so!.......................
Practicing medicine without a license.....................
Everyone knows: Nothing works in Russia.
Russians take their drinking seriously.
She was not wrongfully pronounced dead. She was pronounced dead too early.
She's not dead Jim.
It's Russia...
“My friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator says, “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”
There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, “OK, now what?”
LOL!!..............................
And what medical school did this "policeman" attend?
