"Brain dead" man wakes up as surgeons prepare to harvest his organs

It would be hard to believe that this being a drug overdose case didn’t factor into them being too quick to declare him dead, given the terrible medical care drug addicts reportedly get. Doctors are often extremely willing to just let addicts die, not just as a result of unconscious bias, but even consciously withholding care. So maybe nobody decided, “he is alive, but he’s an addict so I don’t care,” but it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if they had.
