Not to declare dead someone still alive: Case reports

Diagnosing death represents an activity that carries a great deal of public responsibility for medical professionals and is continually exposed to the control of citizens and media. Although this is a taboo subject in medical circles, unfortunately in medical practice there are situations when the physician issues a death diagnosis form without even examining the person or for an already buried person. Such physician's action is impermissible and it leads to the possibility of professional and criminal law punishment.
