| Subject: Statist bunglers: Undertakers in South West find 'dead' patient breathing Wed Sep 29, 2010 3:54 am | |
| A man who paramedics in south-west England wrongly thought was dead was later found breathing by undertakers, it has been revealed.
The case, in 2008, was one of more than 60 Serious Untoward Incidents (SUIs) recorded by the South Western Ambulance Service between 2007 and 2009.
After the undertakers found signs of life in the man, paramedics returned to take him for treatment.
The service said such SUIs were a small proportion of incidents it attended.
The crew was called to the patient in November 2008 after police entered the man's house following reports he had not been seen for four days.
