She Was Almost Cremated Alive

[@maureengibson4853]

I’m a hospice nurse. And just to provide some comforting information; before a person is cremated in the state of NH there is a three day waiting period and a doctor has to certify that the person is indeed dead prior to cremation. So the RN can declare a death in NH but a doctor does too before cremation.

[@yvonnetalamantes3854]

That's good to know I hope that goes for the same in California, when the time comes I want to be cremated I can't afford the burial. It's to expensive,that my decision.❤🥰♥️♥️♥️👍

[@cynthiadelpozzo4082]

But she would have certainly died before that, suffocation, hypothermia? Still would have been a terrible way to die Pryor to cremation

[@JaneDoe-ng3zm]

It is believed in some regions that it takes 3days to truly die in those 3days before the body decays the spirit can return to the body and live or become ALIVE again I personally know of persons walking out of the morgue after a doctor pronouncing them dead if not for embalming I'm sure this would happen more often the spirit may come back to the body to dwell if it's not decayed or embalmed

Yes not nowadays, you be dead dead , no coming back from embalming. It's why we wake traditionally in Ireland, it was helpful to make sure and a way for family to say goodbye too. It started in pagan times. Didn't always work though, live burials still happened in olden times.

My great great grandmother also lost her battle with dementia in July 2023. She was 105 years old. We thought death was merciful way out because her mental state had deteriorated so badly, she was like a newborn who couldn’t process anything or respond to outside stimulation. She couldn’t remember any of us at all. It was sad to see her become a prisoner in her own mind.

Another great story, Lamont. I worked in the nursing field since 1990, and it is NEVER cut and dry. Our facility called the attending physician, and then the physician called a coroner to come and pronounce the person deceased before they were transported to the funeral home or what have you, that way responsibility was not on the medical staff.

[@ashleyyago3798]

Stacyl.3805 -- Amen, to that.. I Loved Your Comment.. 👏 Applause, for the Doctor, whom Called the Coroner, who "Pronounced" the Person Dead, the Right Way, and NOT Leaving the Responsibility, to the Medical Staff..

My Nana had dementia the last few years and it was awful. She was like a mother to me. I last saw her two weeks before, and she actually recognized me for the first time in a while. "Oh, well I'm glad you stopped by!" she told me. I choose to remember her as the beautiful, intelligent and strong woman that she always was before that heinous illness cut her down. My heart breaks for the family of this woman in the video and any family watching a loved one deteriorate to dementia diseases. My comfort came from knowing that my Nana was finally free from any suffering and walking with Christ. Appreciate you Lamont.

This is why if a loved one passes away with us there which we have for almost 100% of the time. We always stay 30mins.longer. They pronounced my father in law dead everyone left except my husband and I. A nurse came in and said she was sorry for our loss. My husband told her he is still breathing that is why we haven't left. She asked for a doctor and he came in. He said yeah,he is still breathing but,not long now. The nurse turned red and ran out. He passed away 30 mins.after all that.

[@richarddube3290]

I have been a nurse for 37 years, and you got all the medical terminology correct. This makes me wonder if you have a medical background or at least a medical education of some sort. Now as far as this woman goes it can be very difficult to pick up on a pulse, blood pressure or respirations, when somebody is close to death, but one indicator that I guarantee this nurse didn't do is check for pupillary response. If the pupils are fixed and dilated then that person is dead otherwise they are not.

You can miss out on many appointments in your life but no one will miss an appointment with death!

[@Pink_143_6]

As an RN, we check the heart with a stethoscope for one full minute and watch for any respirations. If no heartbeat and respiration, we pronounce the patient as expired. I once worked with an RN and saw him go into a patients room to pronounce death. He yelled into the patients ear “ Hey you Ok?” Now grant it patient was dead because I ended up pronouncing said patient. I swear the RN was a fake nurse! We’ve had a slew of foreign nurses come through our state with fake college documents and even manage to get on the state board of licensing. Ultimately that so called nurse was fired for poor performance.Hopefully that nurse you spoke of in this crazy story was reported to the state licensing board.

At the hospital I use to work at TWO nurses could pronounce a patient dead if there was a DNR order. As physician, my biggest fear was to pronounce somebody dead who wasnt quite dead. . do I always double and triple checked my assessment and documented it carefully. You virtually never hear about one of these people mistakenly pronounced dead who returns to normal life-- most of the time they are very near death when the error occurs, and they go on to die within a day or two.
