Heart Stop Beating by Jeremiah Zagar of Focus Forward Films.
Back in July of 2011, a reader asked me about my opinion on a pulseless pump. At the time, I had never heard of such a technology but was excited and intrigued. Drs. Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier saved the life of Craig Lewis with a pump design that was so far out of the box, that by all conventional metrics the patient was dead.
And yet he lives.
This is the story behind that amazing radiograph.
