I know my story is not travel related, but last spring, one of my customer when for his medical. While doing the EKG test, on the threadmill, he had a massive heart attack and he felt dead on the machine.

Through defebrilator and after 5 minutes, the personel at the hospital brought him back to life.

The doctor told him later, that if he had got the heart attack in the parking lot of the hospital they would not have saved him. THe only reason he survived is because they had immediate access to the right equipement and personel. The 60 seconds it would have took in the parking lot would have been too long!
