Too young to die.
A family of a woman has been left fuming after she was pronounced dead by doctors only for her to wake up a couple of hours later inside a body bag.
Gladys Rodriquez de Duarte, a woman that is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, was admitted to the San Fernando Clinic in Coronel Oviedo on the morning of Saturday after experiencing a severe spike in her blood pressure.
2 hours later, Dr. Heriberto Vera, her treating physician, mistakenly declared the 46-year-old woman dead of cervical cancer.
Dr. Vera also handed a death certificate to her husband and daughter.
The staff of the hospital then took the dead body of the woman to the Duarte e Hijos funeral home, where they realized that the woman was alive.
The woman was rushed back to intensive care where she is currently in a delicate by the stable condition.
Maximino Duarte Ferreira, the husband of the woman, has filed a complaint against Dr. Heriberto Vera.
The husband claims that the doctor purposefully announced her dead because they did not want to treat her.
During an interview with the local press, Ferreira said:
He assumed she was dead and handed her naked to me like an animal with her death certificate.
The husband said that the doctors disconnected her and moved her alive body to a funeral home without even trying to revive her.
The doctors at the hospital have something else to say.
Dr. Catalino Fabio, a fellow physician, said that Vera was unable to locate the pulse of Duarte and even tried to retrieve her but failed.
