As a doctor having seen these cases....

Am personally amazed given that would have been 40 mins before getting to hospital and was still having CPR (heart not beating) all the way in via ambulance.....hopeful but am a little dubious.
Results of survival post out of hospital cardiac arrest are so so poor
Fact otherwise fit and well is obviously a bonus....but christ.... Incredible if all accurate
