The hospital provided the parents Liliana and Jose Alvarenga with a death certificate and a “coffin,” a cardboard box with the baby’s name scribbled on the side. They placed their deceased child in the box, went home, and then the unbelievable happened.”I opened the box and took the baby out and he cried. I got scared and I said ‘the baby’s crying’ … and then he started moving his arms, his legs and I got scared, we got very scared,” Liliana told Reuters Television
Cripes. She got scared? Of what? The baby? You’d think she’d be happy.












The baby was delivered 16 weeks premature! At a state run hospital. Meaning, the state of Paraguay paid the bills? I find both facts pretty damn remarkable. And wonder if either would even happen in the US, with its slipshod healthcare system?
#20 I couldn’t have said it better myself. What an amazing story.
And, I don’t blame you, my first impulse would be the same for those so-called doctors!
Btw, that picture creeps the hell out of me…
Fuck, that’s a creepy picture……..
In an American privately run hospital the baby would have been taken down to the morgue and put into cold storage. Then the coroner would have either conducted an autopsy or released the baby to a funeral home. There would not have been any grieving parents to hold and warm the baby.
That is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
“She got scared? Of what?”
I agree with #9. Zombies are not to be trifled with, even if they are just babies.
Forget Obamacare & republican fascism. Who needs government rationing healthcare or forcing their will on “the public”? And why does it seem as if those are the only 2 options? Do away with government altogether, we’d be a lot better off with a market run health care system without the suffocating influence of inept politicians and their aggression on peaceful people…

Who needs government rationing healthcare
About 300,000,000 Americans. All those the Health Insurance companies have failed.
