DEADLINE A reporter's true story of cardiac arrest and the race to survive (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218836481)

Most people don't know the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest, but former reporter Kris Patrow learned it in an instant when her husband, photojournalist Dave Ogle, collapsed beside her while they were watching TV. His heart had stopped. The headline was death.

For years, their lives had revolved around the frantic, adrenaline-fueled pace of the newsroom, but that night, the deadline wasn't for a story - it was for survival. Acting on instinct, Kris became a first responder, performing CPR to buy Dave precious minutes.
