Oh thats so very lucky for this lady. Sounds terrifying

这位女士真是太幸运了。听起来可怕

Not true, nurses verify death too!!! Pulse checked, stethoscope on heart, ear to mouth to listen for breathing, painful stimulus, check pupils reflex. I'm guessing this process wasn't carried out

不是真的，护士也会确认是否死亡的！

检查脉搏，听诊器对心脏，耳对口听呼吸，疼痛刺激，检查瞳孔反射。我猜这个过程没有进行

Thank goodness she was not placed in a coffin beforehand.

谢天谢地，好在她事先没有被放进棺材里。

Must be a heavy sleeper not to wake up being dumped on a pile of wood..

一定是睡得很沉，被扔在一堆木头上才醒来。

What a shock,poor lady. That's just awful,didn't Dr's check for a pulse,check the eyes for responses,breathing etc?.

真让人吃惊，可怜的女士。太可怕了，医生没有检查脉搏吗，没有检查瞳孔反应吗，没有检查是否还有呼吸吗

Many people in India live all their lives without ever using an official document of any description. Not surprised at all with this tale.

许多印度人一辈子都没有接触过官方文件。这个故事一点也不奇怪

$1.9 billion for the space program and $2.1 billion spent in 2018 for the nuclear program. Just no healthcare

印度投入了19亿美元用于太空计划，21亿美元用于2018年的核项目。医疗却没有保障

That's what I call a lucky escape. Don't doctors certify death in India?

幸运啊。在印度，医生不去开具死亡证明的吗

Milly167
Only in India ...

只发生在印度

So if they don't need doctors to declare a person is dead, then a lot of people could just have been murdered.

如果不需要医生来宣布一个人是否已经死亡，那么很多人可能已经被谋杀了。

我想知道有多少人没有那么幸运地醒来，可能处于昏迷状态。
