Suspended Animation


I am a total TEDTalks fanatic. There are so many inspirational videos, I literally lose sleep and time glued to them. This one connects to a story you may have read. A Norwegian med student had literally frozen to death for 80 minutes but was brought back to life. It has challenged the medical field of what is possible in hypothermia and inspired other ways to "suspend" trauma victims long enough to be treated.
