Medical terms calls it the Lazarus phenomenon is momentary remission recovery of consciousness just before death usually a sudden spurt of activity prior to collapse. The Lazarus phenomenon or the idiom, the dead cat bounces, is the behaviour portray by a dying person. It means a dying person shows fit of health for a short time before the person enter a remission & dies in the end. The phenomenon of Hui Guang Fan Zhao, recently termed as Lazarus premonition or Witzel-Ngeh phenomenon refers to a state of transient revival of the dying person shortly before death Failure to recognise this phenomenon as a premonition of death may create a false hope that the dying patient is starting to get better. However, in Lazarus syndrome is said to occur when a person from a terminal illness is expected to die & then unexpectedly goes into remission. Some patients, who may or may not be dying, may experience and express to others premonitions of their imminent death. This premonition is not the same as a simple “death wish” and should be taken seriously as it may avert a sudden cardiopulmonary arrest and death. This is the same on what happens to Queen Seon Deok in the drama
