Val Thomas was dead after two heart attacks. Brain dead. Rigor mortis had set in. She was kept on a ventilator while the family discussed organ donations. 17 hours without brain activity. Then she woke up and started talking. Family calls it a miracle.

Situation most likely to do
with effect of hypothermia treatment as it seems
the patient suffered no "heart attacks" but
instead had a freak dysrhythmia leaving the
heart undamaged and in good shape to restart
itself once her body temp increased. Excellent
outcome and good luck. So long as the Docs stick
with the miracle deal the less chance they have
of being sued.
