An American woman who was brought back to life is suing the New Mexico hospital for violating her rights.

The Albuquerque Journal reports lawyers for Jamie Sams filed a lawsuit this week in New Mexico state district court against Santa Fe's Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center.

The lawsuit filed on behalf Ms Sams, a writer known for books on spirituality, says the hospital and a doctor who was treating her are to blame for her going into cardiac arrest. The lawsuit says Ms Sams was given a painkiller even after she told staff she was allergic to it.

Court documents say the negligence was compounded when hospital personnel resuscitated her - something she did not want.

Christus spokesman Arturo Delgado declined to comment.

Ms Sams is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Here in Nigeria, after death has claimed your life;

Then the doctor would sue your family for not paying the bills on time

They will just be doing anyhow because they are in a sane environment.

As for the people that keeps limiting going abroad with aim of making money alone, y'all should know that if you were born here in Nigeria and die here in Nigeria; you never truly lived. No matter how rich u are..

What privilege do we enjoy as a Nigerian...
