[i]Two ambulance crew members called to a road crash in Norfolk have been disciplined after pronouncing a man dead while he was still breathing.
An ambulance service manager said the crew had covered Artur Palchimowicz, 22, with a tarpaulin.
A policeman lifted it and realised the injured man was still breathing.
Mr Palchimowicz, from Diss, died in hospital after the crash near Norwich in December, the East of England Ambulance Service spokeswoman said.
She said both members of the ambulance crew were suspended and given extra training before returning to work. [/i]

My girlfriend (an NHS nurse) once came home from work and related a tale that her staff nurse on night shift came back to the nurse's station in the early hours of one morning, complaining that she couldn't get any blood out of Mrs XXX's finger for a blood sugar test, despite having tried three times.
'No, you'll struggle', said my girlfriend, 'she's been dead since 8 o'clock last night, we're waiting for the porter to come and take her to the mortuary'.
