Craiglowery Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/17/ma ... uring.html Carlos Amejo, 33, of Caracas, Venezuela, was reportedly declared dead after a car wreck but woke up during an autopsy. (A Reuters report, summarizing an article from the Spanish-language El Universal, doesn't state why an autopsy had been ordered.) Amejo allegedly became alert when examiners started to stitch up an incision on his face. "I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said... His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive. Wow. I would hate to wake up knowing im being cut open :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ss_J9_Goten Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Good Lord, imagine how scary that is, doing an autopsy only to have the body wake up. Still, how could they mistake him for being dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Oh wow. At least he woke up before they got the hedge trimmers out to cut open his chest. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilleus Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 They should've known something was wrong when they started - dead people don't bleed. Exactly, I mean most dead people turn blue/ whitish colour and he probably had rosy cheeks, sounds a bit weird :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremator21 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 What a gory miracle, I mean come on anytime before the autopsy would have been good, but i guess a little further on in the autopsy could have been worse :shock: Im FrotoWE HAVE TO TAKE THE RING TO MOODOOR!Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?Final Fantasy 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I can laugh at this too, it's like a bonus prize for the doctor. You know you're having a good day when you save someone in an autopsy! :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barihawk Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 His heart had probably slowed down to the point of inaudibility. It happens frequently in cases of shock. He wouldn't bleed as much, either. It happened on CSI, too :P. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llcoolguy972 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 His heart had probably slowed down to the point of inaudibility. It happens frequently in cases of shock. He wouldn't bleed as much, either. It happened on CSI, too :P. Yea, but on CSI, they only figured it out because the guy started bleeding when they tried to cut open his chest. And if he was conscious enough to realize how much the stitches hurt, his wounds would probably be bleeding. Edit: Found the article, and the examiners started the autopsy, he started bleeding, and they stitched up his face. Makes more sense now lol.

Barihawk Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Remember that coroners are also spread thinly. My county has over 2 million people in it, but only one coroner! And this is in Venezuela. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.
