October 20, 2024

In the United States, a man woke up on the operating table when his organs were nearly extracted for transplantation. The 36-year-old man had been hospitalized for a drug overdose. Doctors declared him brain-dead and began preparing for organ extraction to use them for donation. Suddenly, the man awoke. He started thrashing on the table and calling for help, after which he was injected with sedatives. Ultimately, the organ extraction was canceled, and the patient survived. However, after the incident, he faced problems with memory, walking, and speech. An investigation into the medical facility is currently underway.
