Legendary KCUR and Kansas City radio reporter Dan Verbeck recently had a brush with death. With the help of his speedy arrival at the hospital, and the medical team's use of a technique called "therapeutic hypothermia," he was revived from a near fatal heart attack.
We hear Dan's story from his perspective, and then we hear from his doctor about the medical advances that allowed this to happen.
Guests:
- Dan Verbeck, retired broadcaster, KCUR
