In my own world, its much nicer there
I've heard a similar story years ago about someone who was supposed to be frozen to death in cold water and had no pulse, was about to have his/her chest sawed open, but thawed and woke up.
go figure.

Oh, creepy! I wanna make sure that if I ever get diagnosed as dead, I get a second opinion.

YIKES!
I couldn't imagine that! Good thing they had just started and weren't through a lot of cutting yet.

Freaky stuff. There's no pain worse than a scalpul cutting into you and being able to feel it. I know from first-hand experience.

I'm glad he's okay! That's got to be a terrible experience.

When I had my daughter via emergency C-section, the doctor didn't wait for neither the epidural nor the general anesthesia to kick-in before he started cutting.

Ack! That's horrible. Just the THOUGHT of any knife blade cutting into my skin makes me shiver. Glad they didn't start by cutting open his torso!

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall and seen the expressions on the ME's face! What an awful thing to happen!

That is so crazy. That man's family had to have been so relieved to find out he was still alive though. What a relief that must have been. I could imagine the people performing the autopsy were freaked out
