Enigma of Project Lazarus

When I was in medical school, I remember that a section of the research centre of our medical college was always active even in the dead of night. It was weird because that section didn't have any major attachments. You could hear the sound of people working, and researchers hanging out even at the early moments. Because of this very bewildering  scene, so many conspiracy/horror stories popped up, and I would like to relate to a particular single very interesting story. It goes that in the older years, there was a medical student so brilliant, he would learn everything with utmost sincerity and dedication. He had  an intense thirst for  knowledge nobody could surpass. He overtook all his professors in terms of knowledge and skill. It was said that he was the pride and glory of the university. For him, it was not mere concepts that was sufficient. He wanted an in depth knowledge which even the most well published authors could not cater to. He didn't even bother about exams. They were like insects colliding on to a  speeding bike rider's helmet. He passed out and after his graduation he decided to become a simple tutor and continue his life at the same institute. It was at this point someone informed me that he was an orphan. This simple teacher started to dedicate his life as a symbol for all the departments, an epitome of ultimate knowledge, and it is said, he lead 'the golden age of Doctors' in there college. He continued to teach at the same pace throughout the rest of his life. He was so brilliant he could have studied for his entrance examination and carry on as one of the greatest physician of the age, but he laughed it off and said that it is his love for all the subjects in our field that kept him satisfied like his academic wives, and then his duty was to spread this tale of love to as many students as possible. So one day this man died. And as a non religious man, he dedicated his body to science. So on the autopsy table, as he lay cooling, about to be dissected for the name of science , you can understand everyone's amazement when a heartbeat  suddenly appeared. It was noticed when one of the scientists wanted to take a selfie of herself holding the famous scientist's hand as if checking for a pulse. And so it did. The man's heartbeat appeared, and although he was still in a vegetative state, he still had a shocking resemblance  of life.
This then led to a lot of changes. They wiped out all data pertaining to him in the college directories and tried to eradicate any proof of his existence. Dubbed under 'Project Lazarus' They placed him in an observatory centre in the Research centre. And things began to get more strange , when apparently he slowly began to improve in other aspects as well. He needed as little as care required, with nutrition needed only once in  2 weeks. And then his EEG peaked up again was a day hell broke out, since it implied  the brain was making its first signals and messages jumping over each neuron  like a child in a playground ever after his heart stopped beating.  Brain dead was now Brain Alive. Like Lazarus, He was rising from the grave. All the departments in our medical college, as well as in other medical colleges around the world were involved in this project,  and although it was top secret,  in the academic churches, the rumours grew in wildfire proportion. This man was a master in all the fields and sciences related to the human body. He knew how the human body worked, down to the cell, down to the biochemical level thanks to his biochemistry. He knew how it carried on its existence thanks to physiology. He also knew each and every aspect of cellular damage, repair and recovery thanks to his general pathology. So could it be that this man's body, somehow because it was 'hyperaware' about each and every aspect about itself, managed to encode its knowledge into itself,  such that it would  then begin to use this information to it's benefit in a way that we still could not begin to understand? Scientists were all well aware about the 'mind over body' concept, but this was the unmitigated truth. Could it be that this intelligent body started to view death as merely a major injury and start regenerating and reviving itself in a slow and arduous process. And now, the CNS, being nature's most toughest thing to understand, was slowly opening its sleepy eye once more. So a secret alliance of scientist worldwide closed in on this phenomena, to study his physiology , especially his EEG findings to finally achieve to goal to find out what happens after we die. It seemed his EEG was becoming more complex by the day, with it almost seeming like he was trying to communicate back to them.
But my friends! It was just a rumour. A crazy story. If that's the case, how would he die in the first place!, that's what the health officials say about this special section in the research labs of my college to this very day. They deny the existence of project Lazarus. They deny the existence of this intelligent man. They deny everything.
But that's the funny thing.  I'm currently standing in the same place I got my medical degree 46 years ago. And even though a lot at the centre has changed, the same project is going on, supervised by a different hand, but on its on same secret agenda.
