A 27-year-old Russian woman was EMBALMED ALIVE after doctors mistakenly filled her IV bag with formaldehyde instead of saline.
Ekaterina Fedyaeva underwent routine surgery at a hospital in the Volga Federal District of Russia, when the hospital put her on a formalin drip, which contains formaldehyde – the liquid used to keep corpses from decomposing.
For the next two days Fedyaeva suffered pains and convulsions as her body eroded from the insides.
Says her mother, Galina Baryshnikov:
“Her legs were moving, she had convulsions, her whole body was shaking,” said her mother, according to The Sun. “I put socks on her, then a robe, then a blanket but she was shivering to such an extent, I can’t even describe it.”
Her mother also said that no doctor ever checked on her after coming out of surgery.
“This is pure murder,” said Galina Baryshnikova, according to reports. “[It] was simply eroding her body from inside.”
“For 14 hours after surgery she was living with this formalin and they did nothing,” she said.
Though she pleaded with medical staff to help her daughter, Baryshnikova claims she was told to go home.
“I think they just wanted me to go away and to hide everything,” she said.
According to Newsweek: TASS reported that the minister of health for the Ulyanovsk region, Rashid Abdullov, offered his condolences to Fedyaeva’s family. Abdullov explained that although Fedyaeva briefly regained consciousness while being treated in Moscow, doctors were unable to save her.
