Ofcourse its all just a theory and probably false.

What I think is that when you "die" you don't actually die, you're actually just in a coma due toPain shock, something that happens when you're in so much pain you basically shut down, you stop breathing, you fall unconscious due to your prefrontal cortex "dying" and most importantly your heart stops beating, this is where the defribilators kick in, they are normally used to de-accelerate the heartbeat, but they can also save a deceased heartbeat due to the shock, with your heartbeat restored, your brain gets blood and breathing is restored, with everything fixed you enter a vegetative state for a few seconds before consciousness is restored, ofcourse you aren't fully healed from your pain shock.

The reason why pain pills heal you is pretty self-explanatory, they either ease or kill the pain completely, preventing you from entering pain shock, but the effects don't last forever, and you'll slowly start feeling pain again.

Don't ask me why do pills become permanent health when you get damaged since thats a glitch.

Also normal zombies don't actually scratch you or rip your skin appart, they actually appear to just punch you.
