Dr. Sam Parnia – the man who could bring you back from the dead :-
This
British doctor specialises in resurrection and insists outdated
resuscitation techniques are squandering lives that could be saved
Sam Parnia MD has a highly sought after medical speciality:
resurrection. His patients can be dead for several hours before they are
restored to their former selves, with decades of life ahead of them.
Parnia is head of intensive care at the Stony Brook University Hospital in New York.
If you'd had a cardiac arrest at Parnia's hospital last year and
undergone resuscitation, you would have had a 33% chance of being
brought back from death. In an average American hospital, that figure
would have fallen to 16% and (though the data is patchy) roughly the
same, or less, if your heart were to have stopped beating in a British
hospital.
By
a conservative extrapolation, Parnia believes the relatively cheap and
straightforward methods he uses to restore vital processes could save up
to 40,000 American lives a year and maybe 10,000 British ones. Not
surprisingly Parnia, who was trained in the UK and moved to the US in
2005, is frustrated that the medical establishment seems slow and
reluctant to listen to these figures. He has written a book in the hope
of spreading the word.
The Lazarus Effect is nothing short of an attempt to
recast our understanding of death, based on Parnia's intimate knowledge
of the newly porous nature of the previously "undiscovered country from
which no traveller returns". His work in resuscitation has led him
logically to wider questions of what constitutes being and not being. In
particular, he asks what exactly happens, if you are lying dead before
resuscitation, to your individual self and all its attendant character
and memories – your "soul", as he is not shy to call it – before it is
eventually restored to you a few hours later?
