After being declared dead by an error by medical professionals, a three-year-old girl awoke at her own burial. According to the regional newspaper El Universal, the incident happened on August 17 in Mexico. Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza, the girl’s mother, has charged the neighborhood hospital with negligence for informing her that her daughter had passed away. In her birthplace of Villa de Ramos, the toddler’s family brought her to the hospital after complaining of stomach aches, vomiting, and a fever.
The girl’s mother Mary Jane Mendoza was instructed to take her to a larger hospital by the neighborhood pediatrician. However, while the three-year-old was being discharged, the doctor also wrote a prescription for paracetamol.
Camila’s mother reportedly went to another doctor after her condition continued to worsen, according to El Universal. He advised the mother to give the toddler fruits and water, and he ordered a different prescription.
The girl’s family brought her to a hospital’s emergency room after noticing no improvement in her condition.
According to the mother, who was quoted by the New York Post, the hospital staff took a while to administer oxygen to her. The physicians administered intravenous fluids for ten minutes before removing it and requesting that Ms. Mendoza “let her rest in peace,” according to the publication.
The girl’s death was officially attributed by the doctors to dehydration.
When the burial was held the next day, Ms. Mendoza observed a weird clouding of a glass panel inside her daughter’s coffin. According to the Post, the mourners originally disregarded her claims, claiming she was “hallucinating” due to her inability to cope with her kid’s death.
But when Camila’s grandmother noticed her eyelids blinking, she was startled and realized the child had a pulse.
The girl was once more sent to the hospital in an ambulance where she was confirmed dead after another failed attempt to resuscitate her due to cerebral edema, according to the Post article.
Ms. Mendoza has now brought a lawsuit against the medical professionals who ruled her dead. The patient informed El Universal that she does not have any ill will toward the medical staff but wants them held accountable to ensure that “this does not happen again.”
