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.

      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.
