One ordinary weekday evening, Jeff Waters had just gone to bed when pain began in his left arm and chest. He mentioned it casually to his wife, a GP, but dismissed her evident alarm - after all, he ate healthily, he swam regularly, he wasn't overweight or diabetic, and he was only 43.
Seconds later a huge cardiac arrest stopped his heart completely. His wife administered CPR until the ambulance arrived. The paramedics could not force Jeff Waters' heart to work for one hour. When they finally managed to revive him, they were convinced he would have brain damage. This is his story of the journey back from death and the many trials both physical and psychological that followed.
