This question from Chris is an excerpt from a 1:1 email counselling/consulting session with me.

Hi Patrik,

first and foremost I would like to take this opportunity and say thank you for everything, your videos have been a huge help and your help and quick response would be much appreciated.

Ok so here’s where we start, on June 8th my girlfriend was admitted to the ICU. She had a bad Heroin habit that was the cause of all this.

On June 8th she complained about breathing problems and she asked me to take her to the Emergency Room. So I did, and we left.

On the way to the hospital maybe 3 minutes away she stopped breathing. I carried her into the Emergency Room where they were able to revive her and do CPR(=Cardiopulmonary resuscitation).

My girlfriend is 32 years old and the doctors said the CT scan has come back normal. As far as how long CPR was required I’m not 100% sure and yes she did lose oxygen to her brain for more than 3 minutes but no more than 5 minutes.

They then told us she would need therapeutic hypothermia for a full 24 hours. Once the re-warming process started they noticed from the EEG that she was having seizures.
