The woman from Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, was declared brain dead, and her family had started preparing for the cremation. But a huge pothole became the source of life for the 50-year-old, who had shown all signs of no brain activity.
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.
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.
An alternative headline is that a woman was nearly burned alive after being misdiagnosed.

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
