    Now she is in intensive care in the same hospital where doctors declared her death.

    Doesn’t sound reassuring.

    “I’m not dead!”
    “I’m sure she will be soon, she’s very ill.”

    I’m guessing they just had an extremely weak pulse? I worry that hospitals will start cudgeling patients to make sure! Although I think I’d prefer that to waking up in a buried coffin…

    Perhaps we should bring back safety coffins?

      I had thought that with Reddit going away, this week I will do some work for once. But after reading your post, I feel I should watch a bit of Monty Python and The Holy Grail again. This is a sign of Lemmy’s success!

    Aren’t bodies usually embalmed before funerals? In this case it’s a good thing she wasn’t, but usually it helps avoid the whole being buried alive problem.

      In some parts of the world embalming is rare, either because of the cost or cultural taboos against it.

    For those who skip reading articles: This happened in Babahoyo, Ecuador. The woman was declared dead and immediately placed into a casket. The family arrives hours later to dress her in funeral attire and find her breathing.
