Bitches bitch'n'

Short-lived resurrection

A woman in the north-east of England who was declared dead by paramedics and taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital, later reversed the diagnosis before reconfirming it.

The death is being treated as 'unexpected' by the police and a post-mortem will be carried out soon.

I'm assuming that it's her second death that's being treated as unexpected by the plod, since her first was over before the paperwork could be signed. The North East Ambulance Service have apologised to the patient's family for the distress caused to them, presumably for allowing her to succeed at the second attempt, rather than her first death or miraculous recovery.

All the same, I'm relieved that I'm not relying on northern British health care.
