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

Doesn't sound reassuring.

Imagine if she gets declared dead in the same hospital twice

"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?

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.

Ah yes, my deepest fear...

This is exactly why I want to be cremated.

It would be even stranger if she was found breathing in a coffin at someone else’s funeral.

Do they not embalm bodies?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well that sounds like a shitty experience for sure
