The Lazarus Phenomenon

The hospital had tried everything

four shocks to the chest

seven doses of adrenaline

and two bags of fluids

the 16-year-old teenager boy lay still

his body in cardiac arrest

flattening without a pulse rate

he was pronounced dead

The family wanted a little time

to just be with the patient

after 10 minutes, the mother asked

for the breathing tube to be removed

he started to have unforced breathing

his color improved so the heart beat

I had never seen anything like this

he experienced a rare resurrection

patients who appear to be dead icily

sometimes voluntarily return to life
