Critically Ill Patient Declared Dead Found Alive at Rewa Hospital Before Postmortem
In Madhya Pradesh's Rewa, an 80-year-old patient, Girja Prasad, admitted in critical condition, was mistakenly declared dead by a first-year medical student. His family, preparing for postmortem and funeral arrangements, noticed he was breathing before the procedures. The hospital resumed emergency treatment, and the patient remains in critical condition on a ventilator. Officials described the incident as a rare medical oversight, with doctors mentioning the possibility of Lazarus Syndrome, a rare spontaneous return of circulation after cardiac arrest.
