Imagine your doctor telling you your loved one had died and forty minutes later you find out they were alive in the morgue.

Doctors in Buenos Aires pronounced the child dead after 40 minutes of attempting to revive her. They sent the body to the morgue. Four hours later a worker heard her crying. The narration on the story is in English but the interviews are in Spanish. If you watch past the first interview you will also see the the report detail a second similar case in Argentina this week. A 71-year-old man had been placed in a body bag and stacked with other bodies when workers realized he was still breathing.

gmony714, very creepy story! With the photo, we need to see credit given for whomever took it, if it wasn't you-- it has a Getty look to it, which is why I bring it up.

Now that's just plain spooky. I couldn't imagine hearing the cry from inside the wall. This isn't one of those places that has better health care than us according to Michael Moore is it? How often does this happen?
