S.D. doctor back from the dead, thanks to ice packs
Larry Ebbert, MD, backpacked in Alaska six weeks after surviving a cardiac arrest at Allina's Abbott Northwestern Hospital.
[Minneapolis Star Tribune, Dec. 3, 2009] Putting people who “drop dead” from heart attack on ice can spare them brain damage. This doctor is living proof.
Dr. Larry Ebbert likes to say that he just happened to be changing planes in Minneapolis when he dropped dead in June.
That is why he lived to tell the tale.
