Some things just don’t make sense

11/6/2009

All the talk this week is bout the car washer fella who say that he wake up in the morgue at the hospital and walk out.

Meanwhile the hospital hierarchy saying it aint so, that yes the fella was at the hospital but he was never admitted to any ward nor pronounce dead nor nothing so, mind you this is after them come out earlier and say that he was never at the hospital, but as the lights start to shine brighter on the story suddenly we hear that he was attended to at the hospital and discharged.

So let we get realistic here, without calling somebody a liar somebody is a stranger to the truth, either the hospital aint telling we the full story or the fella light a fire that get out of hand, but the long and short of the story is that somebody misleading the public.

I was watching the news the other night and I see the public relations people from the QEH come out and explain the steps that are taken before somebody enters the morgue. If my memory serves me right, first them say you must be pronounced dead, and I assume them mean pronounced dead by a qualified person and not by your local drunkard from the rum shop.

Then them say the feet or the toes does be tied together and tagged with the person’s particulars, that is name etc. Them also say the body is placed in a big bag with a zip on the outside, also a record is kept down at the morgue to show that the body entered the morgue. On top of that them show the refrigerated drawers where the bodies are kept and then went on to talk bout the temperature that the bodies are kept at. So let me tell you if he get ‘way from all o’ that he real good.

Now some people got them own theory bout the story. Some believe that after he was discharged from the hospital that on his way out he wondered down by and push a door and ended up in the morgue. Realising that this wasn’t the exit he turned around and on his way out somebody saw him and asked what he was doing coming from in there and this is where the story started to catch root.
It is either that or while he was talking to his friends after he left the hospital that jokingly he told the story of waking up in the morgue and suddenly like a fire it started to spread out of control and unable to pull it back he went along with it not expecting it to get so much attention.

Here is my slant on it. There is some questions that I would need answered first. First I would wanta know if he was naked when he say he left the morgue. Cause from what I understand, I don’t think that the people at the hospital does put you up in them refrigerated drawers in clothes, from what I understand you does be naked. So I would wanta know if he had on the same clothes he was wearing when he first went to the hospital. Then I would wanta interview the mortician or whoever the fella say he woke up and saw in the morgue, the same very person who he said also saw him. You follow me?

And this aint got nothing to do with him being a car washer, cause some people believe that this is a big government cover up and if he was a white man or had a big job people would be more willing to believe his story. However for me them got some things that just don’t make sense.
Now if he did tell me he was abducted by a UFO and aliens and taken to Mars and had tests done on his body now that is a story I would be more willing to believe, but to tell me he wake up in the morgue at the hospital and come out a drawer, that story sound too far fetch for me.
See ya.
