Grandma wasn’t Dead! She ate a Special Brownie and took a long Nap! 🐻👈💯
This is called Lazarus Syndrome meaning delayed ROSC. It may take up to 3hour to get ROSC but in EMS there is a limit has to how long one can perform CPR for and it’s less than 30min depending on state protocols. It’s not negligence. 🤷🏽♂️
And we know what ROSC is
Yes. Only certain people would know. It happens. we can’t assume that there are incompetent staff at that nursing facility.
@TRON ROSC is return of spontaneous circulation. Meaning getting a pulse
@Jhon Rey Dela Cruz absolutely,but unfortunately social media is here to escalate things. People are quick to judge.
Joe BIDEN has alzhiemers
When you have RN’s too lazy to physically check and rely on a CNA to determine whether or not the resident died… your going to come to this. ..
Wake up people Jesus Christ is coming soon ✝️
Jesus is coming
@Cara Gare Hey Watchman’s 2nd personality disorder. we hear ya barking big brother. We’ll take it all in stride. You take care and get off of the computer and take your meds now. Thanks in advance.

@Nooshin’s Corner shut up and turn your funeral home around
thats called “a dead ringer”. nothing new! its also what birth the “grave yard” shift.
someone had to stay up all night and listen for the bell to ring.
Sounds like a typical care facility, especially those for seniors.
What in the actual fk is going on right now… Geez
ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE. THATS WHAT….
Where I from the morgue would of killed her just to make the money.
A MIRACLE! 🙌🏻
@JLocke573 good comment!
Praise God
That nursing home should be severely penalized.
Yes for the family, great for them! 👍 But obviously there was incomplete.
April fools 😂
Thank God she waz found alive!
She would have been dead had she listed herself as an organ doner.
Wow amazing! Thank goodness!
She was merely pretending to be dead
Thank God she’s still alive, I’m sure somewhere in this debacle is a democrat who screwed up.
So, what is her condition now? We need a follow up. At least I do!
Yeah, that is the story, is she OK or what.
Not “this news hits him different” 🤦🏿♀️ yall gotta stop
It is for this very reason that my Grandmother made sure we knew she wanted to be cremated. She was terrified of being buried alive.
Um, so she wasn’t fearful of being burned alive? Just saying.
Burned alive is way better IMO. If she’s a witch, she’s not coming back from that. 🙃😉
@New Moon 😎
@Nooshin’s Corner IKR!
And this is why america sucks when it comes to taking care of their elderly because they really don’t.
Health services has so diminished in the US with the Democrat slime hiring anyone that can fart and dribble a ball it’s called equity ,equality, diversity and skips any qualifications we were once required to have .
Welcome back Dolores
Welcome back , that’s Jesus
Have you seen some of these so-called “nurses and doctors” in nursing homes?…It’s equivalent to the blind leading the blind. The worst part isn’t that they are incompetent, but rather that they don’t even care that they are.
@j2323jkinda what I was thinking too lmao
Demographics of the workforce have changed drastically.
Miracle
The families are the ones that don’t care. They send their elderly away like it’s normal. It’s weird. If you love your parents you nurse them till death. There is a very small percentage that can’t and most just don’t want the burden. Don’t expect people those motivated by money to care more about your family. Sad
@Miss Madeline’s adventures You’re right about that. Money is means to an end, but family is, or should be, cared for by those that love them.
Sound like a nice lawsuit coming up
Bout to be the Last of Us out here
WOW 1:21
*Most* 82 year olds do look dead, in all fairness. 😁
She is definitely a living miracle 💯
Negligence is not a miracle lmao. The nursing home clearly didn’t check everything.
What people call a miracle nowadays really amazes me.
Only thing that will be a miracle is the money they get after they sue the nursing home
Nope, it’s been known to happen. Nothing new.
Too much weeed
She got lucky imagine
Oh just cremate her 😢
She left, then she changed her mind, and come back.
This is very disturbing and upsetting.
That’s now the world we live in, if they can’t finish you off to get the covid money, they try, and some living people fall thru the cracks. Bring her back to the nursing home so they finish the job again, second try.,,
She needs to sue that rehab facility!
These young coroner’s are newbies.. they’ve probably been killing off MF’s
President Obama was/is a honourable man. Now, watch this rogue President lie his way throughout his State of the Union address. These are not little lies, these are Whoppers larger than Burger King !!! I have never in my life witnessed anything like this. His main job is to hide the fact he is controlled by a cult, even this he cannot hide. This is how dumb Biden really is.
This is the whole reason people used to leave them there for at least a day before acting on burial because some people may not actually be fully dead. It was common for people to have a “wake” by placing them on a table and laying them there. I know we aren’t in the 1800’s anymore but there has got to be something better to prevent accidental death by other negligence.
Last November my best friend my dog had to be put down due to cancer. When I brought her home I placed her on a table overnight just for that specific fear what if she isn’t fully dead. The next day I dug her grave and triple checked she wasn’t breathing. I hate to admit it but I was kinda relieved to know she was done fighting I was done worrying.
Also after they buried the body they would attach a string to the body’s finger with a bell above ground on the other end. This way if they woke up after being buried they could pull the bell so someone would know they’re still alive. This was called a “Dead Ringer”.
Who is responsible for this freak show?
Anthony fauci because of him he caused everyone to become lazy
Somebody is in deep DOO DOO!🤐🤨🤔
This is happening a lot! Sounds like a global Damar Hamlin situation to me!🤔
Zombieeee!!!
F.n. right it is..
Massive lawsuit.
Zombie
These northerners talk funny.
Get back in your coffin!
Incompetency
Reminds me of the line in the Wizard of Oz, “she’s not only merely dead, she’s really quite sincerely dead”.
Except, you know, not in this case.
Why can’t news stations just tell a story without spending several minutes on some bystanders opinion which is the same opinion as everyone else watching it.
😂😂 it’s always funny to see new people
Nursing homes are horrible and they do not care for patients
But is she awake and aware? Doesn’t mean much if there’s nothing going on but a pulse.
I guess she wasn’t embalmed yet
YIKES!
But give it or take, in 5 years she’ll be right back.
😵💫😮🫢
Poor grandma
Someone is getting fired.
😂😂😂😂😂😂alive
More like animated death/ corpses
She said; I’ll be back.😂
That’s jesus
Sure they don’t want to commit
Jesus your good
The Clot Shot Zombies
EXACTLY.
People don’t believe in Miracle or in God, that’s why they are trying to blame the nursing home. She could have been dead at the nursing home, in fact, they must have taken her vital signs before pronouncing dead.
Yeah Right! “Not in a position to comment at this time.”
#FAKE NEWS is better than NO NEWS
Hmm.. Same thing happened to Jesus Christ. Except he rode home in a glowing orb.
Poor woman ❤
The nursing home will get lawsuit!!!
They should be arrested
Uhhh 😆
Isn’t there some sort of machine they could hook up to check for a pulse and confirmation? Every medical facility should have one. Personally I think it can be easy to miss a pulse
Disgusting
Headline should read “rich woman found alive at funeral home”.
She was to much work even medicated so they gave her something to usher her into a comatose state expecting it to off her permanently possibly
Really alert attentive staff at the nursing home. I’ll put my parents in there.
Humans are basically disappointing .
>>>>>>>> Increase Your Satisfaction By Understanding Your Existence … sea rch EXISTNC
She was just “Mostly Dead”
This probably is on the paramedics who showed up. Someone doesn’t know what their doing. nursing staff does not pronounce.
“I thought You were Dead?!”
“I got better?”
Imagine being one of the few people in the world that can answer a question like that almost literally and factually😂
Jesus i can’t imagine finding a person breathing in a funeral home….
100 bucks says the person’s first thought was zombie
Please take care of your parents…dont send to the nursing home… I feel bad those elderly people that cant do or cannot talk what they are having while inside of those buildings.
Somehow the news caught wind of this one incident but it may happen a whole lot more than is reported. 🤔
You mean someone actually knew what a woman is.🤣
Oh my God, I’ve heard of this happening but never seen a report. I hope the family has a deep talk with someone! How frightening!
This same thing happened not to long ago to a young woman who had cerebral palsy and was in some state of comatose and her heart slowed and her breathing only came every few minutes..she too was pronounced dead and taken to an area funeral home where upon preparing her body for internment, the mortician noticed that she had let out audible sounds and opened her eyes and was looking around. Her family was in complete shock and lawsuits are still pending.
That’s what embalming is for. If they aren’t dead they will be.
Wow!! Wasn’t her time to go yet. AWWW
For your information shut your doors down I’m not crazy u will be in trouble
It’s unfortunate. If you’ve ever worked in a nursing home. Some of these patients are laying in a bed for 7 years. They look dead minus being purple. Some of them stop breathing for 45 seconds every 2 mins. If you’ve never been in a nursing home. It’s people paid to give compassion the family should be giving. The medical care is very minimal. Families in this culture don’t take care of their dying. And this is a common result.
Had a boyfriend who had ties to the funeral home business. Sometimes the funeral homes would not report people who were still alive. They’d process them anyway. All for $$$$$$$$
That could hurt someone’s feelings when your put in coffin before your dead 😳
Well if she was that close to dead it probably won’t be long before the real thing happens
put a bell on my grave just in case lol
Jesus??! or lawsuit
😂😂😂😂
That’s some of that diversity and equity based hiring being dished out for our health care system.
MOON MENU
???
LOL @ healthcare workers/doctors in Yankeestan
Didn’t this JUST happen 7 days ago in New York at the Ankeny Funeral Home & Crematory????!! What is going on with these people. Could you imagine being cremated alive? I mean this has happened 2 times in a week in 2 different states 🥴man… This makes me wonder how many others this has happened too. 😭
