    Woman ‘embalmed alive’ in hospital error
    April 8, 2018 - A RUSSIAN woman was injected with formalin - a drug used to stop corpses from decomposing - in a horrific incident that’s now the subject of a criminal investigation.

    Have you seen what some of the hospitals are like in the backwater parts of Russia? They were constructed in the Soviet era and are falling apart, and these hospitals have limited funds.

    A lot of the workers at these hospitals are suffering from alcoholism (it's a quintessentially Russian condition, very much a part of the culture, but partly stems from despair at their mediocre standard of living and living in that climate). If these hospitals permanently sent away every employee who turned up drunk on duty, they would be understaffed, so compromises have to be made.

    Formalin is widely used as a disinfectant in hospitals and medics seem to have made a fatal error. Probably the bottle containing formaldehyde was wrongly labeled or a disgruntled hospital worker intentionally did it.
