I was answering consults in the ER in 1984, and there was a school of medicine. I supervised students, interns, and residents. I received a call from the resident on duty, "Doc we have a problem and need your help. Please come to the 3rd-floor medicine male ward." I arrived and found a lot of young women screaming - He is not dead! My papa is not dead! He moves his head. He says he is not dead! I went into the room.

What is the problem? No vital signs, flat EKG, is dead. "But doc we are unable to sign the death certificated, the family is angry with us. They say he is alive. Look! He is moving again!" And they were very scared. It was real. He moved his head from left to right. Like saying no. All family out! We are going to see what is happening here!

We look very closely at the body. And I went near his head. I took out the connection of the air mattress and he stopped moving! He was dead. It was the waves of the air mattress!!
