Slow Saturday Special: Polish Patient Resurrected

I was going to quit posting Slow Saturday Specials, but thought better of it and resurrected them for today:

"Pronounced dead, 91-year-old Polish woman awakens" Associated Press  November 15, 2014

WARSAW — A Polish doctor says she has been in ‘‘deep shock’’ since learning that a 91-year-old woman she pronounced dead woke up in a morgue several hours later.

The doctor — identified by news media as Wieslawa C. — said on TVN24 television Friday that she was sure the patient was dead after finding ‘‘no basic life functions’’ during a morning house call Nov. 6.

The doctor examined the woman, identified as Janina Kolkiewicz, after relatives noticed she was not breathing.

That night, an undertaker at the morgue noticed movement in a body bag. Once it was opened, Kolkiewicz complained of being cold and asked for hot tea, media said. She was then taken home.

Officials are urging a court to void the death certificate and restore her pension.

The fact that the dead appear to be rising must mean something.
