An alternative headline is that a woman was nearly burned alive after being misdiagnosed.
If you read the article, it seems she was properly assessed as having no brain stem activity. Could be a cover up, who knows.
And they wouldn’t actually cremate her until there was no pulse. Unless they covered that up too!I mean obviously we only have the accounts of the article, but they claim her vitals were low, her Glasgow Coma Scale had dropped to a 3, and multiple tests showed she had neurotoxins in her system. It sounds like there are records to back up the claims being made. Obviously someone could always be lying, but it sounds like they’ve got the right info backing it up here.
Well, obviously, she was not properly assessed.
I mean, yeah. But did they actually do anything wrong, anything that any other doctors would have done?
Sounds like a X-file
Reading the article, it doesn’t seem like a misdiagnosis. She showed all the signs of brain death and her chances of living were basically zero. Her family decided to start making preparations. When her body was being delivered back in an ambulance, they hit a pothole that jolted her brain back into action. Genuinely crazy medical story, but with 8,000,000,000 people on earth, this happening to at least one person is all but guaranteed.
Percussive maintenance strikes again
Had a TV growing up that we kept a large pot on the top of for when it went to static. We’d slam the top of the TV with it. No idea where that TV went but that pot is in my kitchen now.
at least it’s ready in case you find that TV one day
Ba-dun-tis
This somehow makes way for a “smack the patient in the face” medical treatment.
Do you know in the movies when they dramatically slam someone’s chest and yell “live damn it”?
That is called the precordial thump, and it used to be used in codes
Sometimes a good wallop is all someone needs
Percussive maintenance, now for people too!
Always has been
That’s what I call beating my children. Those mines aren’t going to dig themselves.
Fido, no! Landmines are unethical!
This precordial thump used to be part of my IT toolkit.
He’s dead, Jim!
Imagine how cool you’d feel if you revive someone with one of those

For the same reason a good hard hit in the chest can stop your heart.
Also, the defib is doing something similar, it’s not shock starting your heart it’s trying to send a unified shock to get it all back in rhythm.
Medical beds should be built to automatically quickly lower someone to simulate hitting a big bump when vitals drop.
A glitch launches the patient instead. Possibly has the same results, plus or minus a few extra contusions.
I just figured it was extra-desperate CPR and never saw a reason to question its legitimacy.
Being fair it kind of is, which is why it’s not really used anymore.
It’s kind of “a 1% success chance is better than a 0% chance” type deal
I was 95% sure you were trolling, but holy shit
Considering that technique was discovered by hitting a pothole as well, maybe whomping from the back would be more effective. Or picking up and dropping the patient.
Not that it’s a good idea or that I would recommend the behaviour outside of extreme circumstances, but it can be useful for someone in shock to get them moving.
Bring back blowing smoke up their ass
if you get a funnel i got some smoke
Some part of her deep inside, must felt the bump, and realized:
She can’t afford the ambulance.
The case is from India, In India ambulances are generally very cheap in fact in some parts they are free, subsidized by the government.
When turning it off and back on doesn’t work, sometime percussive maintenance is the key.

Potholes, ruins rims and apparently brings you back to life.
Man I clench my cheeks soo hard every I go over them either bike or car ride
I try to avoid them on my bike.
I try to avoid them in my car.
You know that sensation of falling while you’re falling asleep? Have they ever tried dropping comatose or brain dead people to see if it wakes them up? In a safe way, like raised 1 foot off a bed in a hoist and fall softly onto a cushion.
Could you imagine being “locked in” with locked in syndrome and people around you decide to make you “fall”?
Yeah, you’re right. Roller coasters might be better.
It worked in Inception, so I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work here.
Legit made me laugh!
Was the doctor AI?
Oooh, I know that one!
What’s UP highway?
Yo dude, wazzup wit you?
um two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
Is that two biggie macs, a quarter pounder with cheese and a fillet o fish with extra fries?!
The pothole is a powerful medical tool.
In the industry I’ve heard tell of it cardioverting patients out of SVT, killing patients with an AAA, and spilling the coffee of medics who were not vigilant about their drink discipline (SCMWWNVADD)
This article leaves me asking many questions.
If I were her and felt like I had “conquered death,” I would want to find out how all those neurotoxins ended up in my lymphatic system.
Does anybody else in my immediate circle also have them in theirs? Because if they didn’t come from the environment and ifs not a question of where did they come from, it might be a question of who did they come from.
Reason #1 why we should put sick people into earthquake simulators.
A few good slaps should be enough
Had to figure out what a UP highway was.
Every single time I read it I juggle between Uttar Pradesh and the Upper Peninsula. Cause one is much much closer to me.
It’s never the Upper Peninsula.
Haha I assumed it was the yoop. Pot holes are particularly bad this year
There’s usually something in the headline that makes my brain go “oh its uttar pradesh again” but. They both have roads. That have potholes. And have ambulances. And I once again let my brain go “maybe this time!” and I was tricked by my own brain again!
Help the rest of us out
Uttar Pradesh - it’s a state in India
Interestingly, I have lately been seeing articles saying that humans who have been declared braindead and regained consciousness have reported hearing conversations that took place several hours after the declared brain death. No links, it was a different device and aren’t in history, but I’m sure searches will return something. Not vouching for veracity, either.
There was a recent study done where the authors have identified brain activity in people marked as brain dead and who had returned, and who have reported see, which have been validated, events that occurred during the time on the operating table.
Basically the authors have found brain activity hours after the person was marked as dead.
Their study basically argues that ER departments need to change how long they’ll work on someone as there are people who could come back but who are being left to die.
I always wonder what the religious say about these events. Like, clearly, the person was dead at one point and should have pass on, no? So what is the religious answer to explaining why they’re alive again? 2nd wind? lol
The answer would be that she was not dead.
Dead is kind of a nebulous thing. The religious answer would obviously be it’s a miracle. In medicine there’s not really a way to tell the moment of death. It usually isn’t officially ruled until they give up trying to revive.
Doesn’t it mean they’re Jesus?
