Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

Eek :shocked:

Just what I was thinking! Surely "are they alive or dead?" should be covered on day 1 of med school! :p

At least they started on his face, could have been a lot worse!

Gentlemen, you are about to enter the most fascinating sphere of police work, the world of forensic medicine.

Maybe the pathologist was like Doug from Scrubs...

Being buried alive is My worst nightmare mate. Ever since seeing some Voodoo crap that made you seem dead & then you woke Buried :shocked:
Was it Roger Moore in a Bond film or some other freaky crap :confused:
Either way it sucks.
My realistic nightmare is waking up during an operation as this is a Real possibility. I am s'pose to wear one of those SOS bracelets stating my tolerances to Hard drugs is Extreme.
An example is when i went to the Dentist about 12 years ago. I got injected to put me out & asked to count to ten, I got to about 30 summit & said "Oi mate this hasn't even give me a Buzz let alone knocked me out"
The Dentist & his mate & nurse just looked at me, the elder dude said give him another shot so they did, Kin Nowt. Dentist says to me just lay back & relax & let me look in your mouth.
I stood up & said *** that mate if you can't put me out you ain't getting nowhere near my dodgey teeth. I left the building & drove home straight as a die :(
You may understand why i self extract now ;D

Hehe, my fishing friend has performed several post mortems and he's told me some horror stories of corpses making terrifying noises. It's an urban myth that corpses fart, but they do wheeze gas from pretty much every orifice, making some disgusting sounds.

He told me once about cutting open a guy who'd been in a canal. The stuff that came out of him, air and liquid, and then the smells, was enough to make him lose his lunch right there in the path lab. When a pathologist throws up, you know the body is bad. :(

Exactly! I know it can't be much worse but at least they did something to him that he could recover from.

Cor blimey! That's well freaky deaky!

I've made my family and friends promise me that when I die - before ANYTHING is done to me I want to be embalmed. That way I am truly dead.

Glad he's alright - what a shocker for the wife though!

Just think Pebs ..... you have your first autopsy viewing to look forward to.

It isn't so bad really .... just take a pot of Vicks rub with you.

I saw my first on my CID attachment in 2001. It was a suspicious death with a Home Ofiice pathologist conducting.
