The woman from Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, was declared brain dead, and her family had started preparing for the cremation. But a huge pothole became the source of life for the 50-year-old, who had shown all signs of no brain activity.

      I’m pretty sure she was just MAGA voter and they’re being mean.

        Trunp voters aren’t stupid, nor are they passive victims of a con. They are rational actors whose material interest and cultural identity are actually being addressed by Trumpism.

      I’m pretty sure it means we (/these paramedics, hopefully) don’t know how to accurately diagnose brain death.

    Percussive maintenance once again proving that sometimes all the system needs is a little shake up.

    And this also goes to show how our medical understanding of the brain is still woefully underdeveloped. I wonder if it was the feeling of falling that did it. I know the article says the pothole was large enough to “shake” the whole vehicle, but that’s not to say it didn’t get just a bit of vertical movement.
