Wow....no kidding...great work.....by them. GREAT.

Hope all goes well for him and his family.

Good thing I didnt witness it....that sort of thing "wrecks" me for weeks. May sound selfish but it really shakes me up.

Im glad it was handled well, that the important first step , without it, the second isnt so pleasant.

The racer had no pulse and was not breathing, when they loaded him into the Rescue Unit he had a pulse. Enroute to Shands Hospital after cardioversion (shock) in the unit he became wake and alert! The statistics on this happening is normally very low, about 2%. Truly a miracle! Jim
