A Dead American Came to Life on a Transplant Surgeon's Table (3 photos)
The doctors didn't expect such a setup.
Well, friends, it's time for some awesome Sunday stories.
It happened in Kentucky. An unremarkable guy named Thomas T. J. Hoover, 36 years old, overdosed on drugs and was urgently hospitalized at Baptist Health Richmond. There, in fact, he gave up his soul to God according to official documents.
To avoid wasting the body, the doctors decided to quickly extract his heart, which was still in decent condition.
It was during this operation that the dead man suddenly woke up, scaring everyone to death. The story could have ended in a happy ending, like, "Maxim came back to life, so what?" But the organ donor coordinator in Kentucky was not thrilled with the sudden resurrection and demanded that the doctors extract the heart from the living man anyway.
The medical staff present at this operation were outraged that it was unethical to take organs from a still living person. The patient had to be released.
The police became interested in the case, how is it possible that dead people come back to life. Representatives of KODA deny that any of their members gave instructions to doctors to start an operation to remove organs from a living patient.

During the investigation it turned out that there were usually no dead people, doctors prudently pumped patients with drug overdoses with sedatives, slowed their pulse and wrote out death certificates, and while they were unconscious, transplant surgeons took them apart for organs.
According to preliminary information, the medical staff sent more than ten people to the next world in this way, but Thomas was the one they caught. The case is currently being investigated by the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration and the police, and Thomas is alive and well, although he still has problems with memory, walking and speech.
