A modern day miracle happened in Scottsdale, Arizona, when a hit song reportedly brought a clinically dead woman back to life.
Biggles, a dog groomer at Scottsdale-based Kosmos Doghouse, suddenly fell to the floor unconscious last Saturday, when she getting a golden labradoodle into the bath.
Her colleague Chelsea Loucks saw her laying on the floor unconscious in the back corner. Her pulse was missing, while breathing was shallow. In other words, she was clinically dead.
Loucks started chest compressions on Biggles to the beat of the Bee Gees' hit song "Staying Alive," as she had been taught in a CPR lesson arounf a year ago.
ER doctor Kurt Solem, who saw Biggles when she rushed at the nearby hospital, said her heart had started beating and blood pressure became stable by then. However, he was initially uncertain Biggles would make a full recovery.
Explaining the incident, Solem said, "In fact, I wrote down the prognosis is grim and neurological damage was highly likely. I can only describe that, with her being neurologically intact, a miracle, that's it."
Biggles had regained consciousness after being clinically dead for as many as 26 minutes. Biggles is one of the many people who have literally returned to life after death. In such cases, a person's brain, heart, and other vital organs all stopped working for several minutes or even hours, and then the person suddenly returned to life.
