S African man wakes after 21 hrs in morgue fridge
« on: November 10, 2012, 09:10:54 PM »
JOHANNESBURG - A South African man awoke to find himself in a morgue fridge - nearly a day after his family thought he had died, a health official said Monday.

Health department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said the man awoke Sunday afternoon, 21 hours after his family called in an undertaker who sent him to the morgue after an asthma attack.

Morgue owner Ayanda Maqolo said he sent his driver to collect the body shortly after the family reported the death. Maqolo said he thought the man was around 80 years old.

"When he got there, the driver examined the body, checked his pulse, looked for a heartbeat, but there was nothing," Maqolo told the Associated Press.

But a day after staff put the body into a locked refrigerated compartment, morgue workers heard someone shouting for help. They thought it was a ghost, the morgue owner said.

"I couldn't believe it!" Maqolo said. "I was also scared. But they are my employees and I had to show them I wasn't scared, so I called the police."

After police arrived, the group entered the morgue together.

"I was glad they had their firearms, in case something wanted to fight with us," Maqolo said.

He said the man was pale when they pulled him out.

"He asked, 'How did I get here?"' Maqolo said.

The health department said the man was then taken to a nearby hospital for observation and later discharged by doctors who deemed him stable.

Kupelo, the health department spokesman, urged South Africans to call on health officials to confirm that their relatives are really dead.

The man's family was informed that he was alive during a family meeting convened to make funeral arrangements. They're very happy to have him home, Maqolo said.

But Maqolo said he is still trying to recover from the traumatic experience.

"I couldn't sleep last night, I had nightmares," he said. "But today I'm much better."

Most probably his conduction system was on low key...ive read clinical cases like this when the individual was kept alive through the automaticity and activity of the purkinje fibers when the sinoatrial and atrioventricular node/atrioventricular junctional conduction systems failed to fire.

Haha, murag baka o baboy nga gi ihaw.

Ing ana gajod ang lawas sa tawo, kai og mamatay na, ihawon ang lawas sa tawo. Kuhaon ang organs, i-examinan, og mo kuhag toxicology samples. Ang ulo sa tawo, brod vince, i-openan pod na. Kuhaon ang brain, ug i-examinon pod nila. Ug ma homan na tana, ibalik pod sa lawas, ig ila pod i-stitchon.

Sayang ang years of putting lotion og creams noh? :P

Naa galing tong situwasyon sa una when i was doing pathology rotations, one of the deceased patients that we had to open up was a woman in her mid 40's. when we performed a Y-incision sa ijang anterior thoracic region , ning gawas intawon ijang breast implant. Luoy pod. All those years of putting lotions/ creams and thousands of dollars on implants, gi-duslak ra man diay ijang lawas sa pathologist.

Hahay ning buhay. :P

once you peel the skin off, fascia by fascia, one gets desensitized. After death, all that remains is just the body. The soul is already gone. All that remains is just a shell...

Mao gayod, Brod Vince. Kahibawo ka, 2 years ago when i started rotations, i really took the death of my first patient personally. Na apektahan gayod ko when she died of multi-organ failure secondary to her CHF. When i had to tell the patient's family, the sight of her children, and her husband crying really affected me. Sakit atong kasingkasing seeing her child looking at me and saying, "Can you please, please bring my mommy back?"

That is life. One day we are alive , and the next, who knows. Nothing is ever constant in this life. The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh...

Indeed. My Catechism teacher when I was in Grade V has this to say:

Kada gabii kung matug na sija magmake-up na sija tanan, magpahumot ug mamulbos. Ky basin unja kono ug wa damha nga mamatay sija, at least guwapa sijang moatubang sa Guinoo.

Hehehe. Karon kalooy sa Guinoo buhi pa man sija. Galing wa na kaila naho nga naistudiyante diay ko nija sauna.
