44. Stephen King did a short story like that.
I forget the name, but it was in Nightmares and Dreamscapes. I believe the guy gets completely paralyzed by a snake bite. His breathing is incredibly shallow and his heart rate slowed so it appears as if he's dead. You read his thought processes as he listens to the two people about to perform an autopsy on him. Don't read past the scroll if you don't want to find out how it ends...

Spoiler:
















The female doctor places her hand on his thigh and he uses that to "will" himself to have an erection. When the doctor notices it, she realizes he's still alive and halts the autopsy.
