Dawn for the Dead: Andrew Gardner

Amazing things are happening in New York Hospitals. On the the back of wonderful research and practise at Stoneybrook University Hospital, New York is now a good place to have a heart attack.

Sam Parnia a British doctor has pioneered the “Lazarus Effect” of resuscitation; bringing people dead from heart attacks back to life.
