An emotional lift for loved ones. In the United Kingdom, paramedics said a dead patient, without imagining that the latter would “wake up” a few hours later at Darlington Memorial Hospital. The patient’s current condition is not known but the ambulance service has apologized for the distress caused to the patient’s family.
“As soon as we became aware of this incident, we opened an investigation and contacted the patient’s family. We are deeply sorry for the distress this has caused them,” explained Andrew Hodge, director of paramedic services at the service, quoted by the Daily Mail. Before completing: “The colleagues involved are receiving appropriate support and we will make no further comment on the individuals at this stage.” An investigation is underway and a full examination of the facts is currently being carried out in order to understand all the circumstances of this event.
In the United Kingdom, this story is not without consequences since the North-East ambulance service is the target of a damning report. According to the findings, paramedics allegedly “ hidden medical errors and withheld evidence” during certain investigations.
