A man has shared his terrifying ordeal after he was declared clinically dead for seven minutes due to a hospital administering a medication he was allergic to. The incident, which could have ended in tragedy, instead became a story of miraculous survival.
The Fatal Error
The patient, whose identity remains undisclosed, was given a drug he had explicitly listed as an allergen in his medical records. Within moments, his body went into anaphylactic shock, leading to cardiac arrest.
Seven Minutes of Darkness
Medical staff worked frantically to revive him as his heart stopped beating. For seven agonising minutes, he was technically dead—no pulse, no brain activity. His family was warned to prepare for the worst.
A Second Chance at Life
Against all odds, doctors managed to restart his heart. The man describes the experience as "like waking from a dreamless sleep," with no memory of the event but profound gratitude for the medical team who saved him.
Lessons Learned
The hospital has since reviewed its procedures to prevent similar incidents. The survivor now advocates for double-checking patient allergies and clearer communication in medical settings.
