He’s not quite dead....
Martin Fierro died a week or so ago.

I think he also said he was feeling pretty good.
But most FReepers disagreed. They FReeped a poll and decided, that no... He’s still dead.
“Bury ‘im, burn ‘im or dump ‘im in the Thames?”
Note the doctors were lining up to get his organs.
Sorry, but I am a no go on organ donation. Been told by one too many doctor friends that there is a great $$$ incentive to let you die.
“Only the good die young, so I didn’t go.”
He’s still got his sense of humor. A good sign, I’d say. He’s already recovered enough to be brighter than most liberals.
I listened to this story on the radio yesterday. They had him just about ready to go for organ harvesting when one of his family members saw him move and raked a knife up the sole of his foot where he quickly jerked his foot away. He came about as close as one can get to being parted out before dying as one can get.
I guess he wasn’t dead. Medical science still can’t tell when the moment of death comes.
I am very familiar with that hospital - I’ve taken my mother there quite a few times. I don’t know how they rank among other hospitals, but they make a lot of mistakes. Last year they failed to put a heart monitor on a patient who subsequently had a heart attack and ended up brain dead - she was 45 years old. They once filled my mother up with drugs and discharged her when the doctor on call got off duty - she couldn’t even walk and had many problems after I got her home. I’m not surprised that they misdiagnosed this young man’s death.
Sure he says he feels well, but what do you expect from a brain dead person?
This is like an Emo Phillips joke.
Doctor told him his Grandmother was on life support, that her heart was still beating but her brain was dead.
Emo said, “We’ve never had a Democrat in the family before.”
I saw the teaser for that this morning. I didn’t watch. Don’t get me wrong, it really IS a miracle that he’s alive, let alone conscious to enjoy it, thank God for miracles....but he was brain dead for months.
All I could think was thank God he wasn’t a patient in Florida. He’d have been eased out of this life “humanely”, via death by thirst.
The lesson from this story is to stay out of Tejas if you are really sick!
“I’m feeling better.”
“Look, you’re not fooling anyone.”
“He’s not dead Jim.”
"There was no activity at all, no blood flow at all."
Nonsense. We all know that a brain scan that says you are dead means you are dead. He should just lie down and submit to dehydration..., er, organ removal.
