Justin Smith
Justin Smith was a 25-year-old man that had been lying in the cold for nearly 12 hours. It was 5 degrees below zero and snowing.When emergency personnel arrived, they couldn’t find signs of life either. Meanwhile, his father Don phoned Justin’s mother to give her the unimaginable news. Their son was gone.
Except, he wasn’t. Not according to Gerald Coleman, the emergency department physician on duty at the Lehigh Valley Hospital early on the morning of Feb. 21. “My clinical thought is very simple: You have to be warm to be dead,” said Coleman.The secret that saved Smith — and countless others — lies in the way the body slows down as it gets colder.By the time their temperature plunges into the 60s, their heart will stop beating altogether. Even though Justin seemed to be dead, the doctors started doing CPR due to the ideas of the Dr. Coleman. At the end, the doctors brought again Justin alive.
