Venezuela's medical care - now just as good as Cuba's
Ahhhh -- the joys of the corrupt socialist state. We all know about Cuba's medical care being soooo good for the foreigners with cash and sooooo shitty for the Cuban residents.
Nice to see that Fidel's buddy Hugo is perpetuating the same scam.

"Dead" man wakes up under autopsy knife
A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.
Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.
"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.
His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive.
Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy.
What kind of untrained idiot ordered the autopsy without checking the patient's heartbeat with a stethascope...
