But what he told me next, floored me. He said that of the few times he had done it over the years, that I was the very first patient who had survived and recovered. It was inexplicable as to shy I survived and the others didn't, he said. He called it a miracle.

Technically not necessarily contrary to know laws, but certainly the grace of God.

When you're talking about your own life, I don't really care what is technically possible versus what is not.

What he was telling me was that there is no guarantee doing what he did to me, hand-massaging my heart back to normal sinus rhythm, was going to work even if it was tried. And it hadn't worked the few times he had done it before. I was the first for him to pull through. But in life and death situations you do what you can do to change the inevitable outcome. Living versus dying.

But as a doctor, he said he had a professional responsibility to try and save any patient's life no matter what the risk. But not all survive even with the effort to save them.

In his career and practice, he said it was a miracle I survived and wasn't a vegetable afterwards because of lack of oxygen to the brain during the procedure.
