In surprising news, the usually stellar medical system in Paraguay faced some embarrassment this morning when news broke that a doctor accidentally misdiagnosed a baby as "dead". People are freaking out over this but, to be fair, it's Paraguay. I'm pretty sure there are parts of that country still using dried, ground-up cat testicles from the local apothecary to cure diabetes. There isn't a written article here, so I'm going to try to embed a video (keep in mind I know nothing about computers as I am now and have always been an "outdoor" kid).

When I first saw this article, I remember wondering where this could happen that they don't embalm corpses prior to funerals, but it wasn't really like that. I mean, technically it was before the funeral, but only in the way that what I'm doing right now is before my morning BM. I mean, I'm not sitting on the toilet or anything. This headline made it sound like it was go-time. The best part of this whole situation, though, is undoubtedly the part when the woman was describing what happened when she opened the cardboard box containing the baby corpse. "We got very scared." Haha, well, naturally. George Romero movies are huge in Paraguay. These people should get a medal for realizing it was actually alive and not shooting it in the head.
UPDATE: okay, so I tried really hard (once) to get the video to embed, but it wouldn't, so I left you with the link so that you can watch it on the comcast website.
