Will Flanary's SCA Survival Story 

Yes!!! Well played. Also, can we appreciate the way she looks at him? Aww ❤ 😍

Definitely superhuman woman... 10 min of cpr

Gyno bro. (Or OB bro?)

@@YahushasDisciple I think it was Emergency that called her Lady Bro

@@RecklessFables No, it was ortho.

It shows what a human is capable of if her/his loved one is in danger

When what you love is at stake, your will carries you further than your salary normally does

Desperation can make a human achieve incredible and miraculous things. She is a living example of that

@@iwatchwithnoads7480 Yes, at Avive we strive to empower ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Kristin Flanary is a perfect example of this- she is truly an inspiration and a force!

Mrs. Flannery did very well!! 😊

Adrenaline does miracles. I gave CPR twice and felt the strain but kept going until Fire Rescue got there.

Will was my friend in high school. He was an awesome dude.

@@otballard also he's still alive! Just for anyone else looking at this comment, I know it is a bit ambiguously written

Did you have the C jab prior to the event?

That is so scary! I’m glad you are okay. How did you know to hit the emergency call? Did you have symptoms prior?

@@Samantha-nv8yx I stopped being able to draw a breath after taking 5 steps. I hit my knees and happened to have my iphone in my hand and hit the emergency bypass. I heard the 911 operator answer but I could not - I lost consciousness. I was asleep- not feeling great but I'm disabled so I am often really exhausted and not feeling well; woke up and attempted to walk to the kitchen and was awake just in time to save myself.

In which year did tht happen?

@@kckelsey In which year did that happen?

Your birthday present is your son and your son's birthday present is you

Kristin Flanary is the definition of FIERCE!

He doesn't deserve his wife. She should marry Jonathan

You can be confused a while after having a cardiac arrest, he probably wasn't thinking right

You misunderstood what she said. She meant to say that she wasn't sure of his state of health until that. Him being able to install all that, remember password and get back on social media told him that he's back.

Uh no, her wife knew he woke up, but wasn't sure whether his brain got damaged or not. Once he post the tweet, he knew that he is still the same person alas no brain damage at all

@@JovanKK "alas" lmao 💀

Yeah, I was confused when he introduced himself. Where does Glaucomflecken come from then???

@@plurpball3958 The word is related to opthalmology. It is a sign of acute angle-closure glaucoma. He chose it on the spur of the moment at a boring conference and tweeted out his first joke.

Yeah

Me too! :) :) :)

We could not agree more!

Hi Andrew! Thank you. We truly emphasize with your situation and would love to see a shift towards more AEDs in the home. We announced our FDA Approval this week and are now taking pre-orders on our device. Take a look: store.avive.life/

@@avivesolutions Very excited to see a solution like this becoming available, and so approachable. Congrats on the recent approval, and I look forward to seeing this becoming as common as a smoke detector.

@@ableandrew That is the goal! Thank you for your support and feedback.

Are you a Sudden Cardiac Arrest survivor? We agree with you! Many survivors have shared with us that they aren't getting the resources they need after their emergencies and most people aren't aware of the many lasting impacts they are dealing with. This is one reason we are so passionate about trying to bring more AEDs into more homes. We want this to become the norm and hope to provide people in your situation with added protection and peace of mind.

@@avivesolutions Thank you so much for making AEDs more accessible! I actually have a condition called costochondritis, it's inflammation of the cartilage of the rib cage. My pain tends to center right over my heart and flares up randomly, so before my diagnosis I would have chest pain, think I was dying, and run to the hospital. It was about a year before I FINALLY got a diagnosis, but that time really destroyed my mental health. I was constantly terrified, it felt like holding a bomb that could go off any second. It was so, so bad that even after my diagnosis, anything heart related can still trigger a panic attack.

@@lcolsen22 thank you for sharing your story. We are so glad you now have a diagnosis. Chronic pain near your heart would understandably be very scary. We wish you the very best.

For realz now! 🥲 OK, he had his magical 3 times of good luck in times of bad luck! Now we can stop with the scary fate challenges, yes?!

Did they resolve the a fib?

Yes, it resolved in 24 hours and has stayed away so far. My cardiologist says it will most likely return at some point.

Why do you have to say god was responsible when it was his wife that saved him? he even had testicular cancer that he got treated early because when he felt the lumps he knew what it was due to his own knowledge. If god has a plan why does it have to involve almost killing someone? thats insanely cruel in my opinion.

@@BewareTheNoid how's sophomore high school going

@@iwatchwithnoads7480 sick retort bro, how about you discuss what I said instead of insulting me?

@@BewareTheNoid nobody cares

@@iwatchwithnoads7480 yeah okay, thanks for telling me you don't have an argument

It's pretty startling, isn't it? Its not unheard of for people with no warning signs or family history of heart disease to experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest. As far as we know, he still isn’t sure why it happened. This is why its a good idea to be prepared by knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED. We're working hard to make AEDs more accessible and affordable so that they are available when and where they're needed. We're grateful to Dr. Flanary for sharing his story to raise awareness about how CPR and AEDs saves lives.

This is a really great question! When a person goes into Sudden Cardiac Arrest sometimes they exhibit what is called agonal breathing for seconds or minutes after their heart stops beating. It is not normal breathing. It sounds like snoring, snorting, gasping, or labored breathing. The person will appear to be choking or having an involuntary gasp reflex. Agonal breathing indicates that someone is likely dying. Acting quickly can save a life! Learn more about agonal breathing here: avive.life/guides/agonal-breathing-everything-you-need-to-know/#:~:text=Agonal%20Breathing%20Definition,having%20an%20involuntary%20gasp%20reflex.

He is articulate, extremely witty, and attractive. I’d say they are well suited to each other.

Brugada fucking syndrome extremely rare

Sudden cardiac arrest unfortunately isn’t uncommon. Most of the time it is an electrical error in the heart

Will's Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurred before the vaccine was available. SCA has been a leading cause of death across all ages for decades, unfortunately. We're hoping to change that!

Hi Ray! Dr. Flanary experienced agonal breathing, which woke his wife. She received T-CPR from a 911 dispatcher. He was confirmed to have had a Sudden Cardiac Arrest and as far as we are aware, an etiology was not established. He was shocked six times with an AED upon EMS' arrival. Truly an extraordinary case.

@@avivesolutions Sorry but as an ER doc with 30 years experience I just can't buy the history as given. If he doesn't have an ICD then I have to believe the cardiologists likely don't believe he experienced vfib either.

@@raytaylor372 Hi Ray! Thanks for following our story! Dr. Flanary's SCA story is actually quite well documented. He has spoken about his SCA experience at events such as EMS World, the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation's annual conference, and beyond! He's been reunited with all of the heroes involved in his chain of survival. We're grateful he's using his experience to help others.

@@avivesolutions Yeah, no doubt the story makes great "clickbait." However, he allegedly spent all of THREE DAYS in ICU. The average length of ICU stay post-SCA is NINE days and then only about 25 percent SURVIVE to discharge. Sorry, but I require PROOF that he actually experienced vfib -- e.g. a rhythm strip from the AED or the ER doc's H&P.

@@raytaylor372 as you know, AEDs will only deliver a defibrillation shock to people who need it. It is well documented that Dr. Flanary received multiple shocks and was sedated for three full days following his arrest. Sharing his story allows us to inform others that SCA can happen to anyone, anywhere at anytime. Knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED can save a life.

Our friends at the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation have created an amazing group to assist anyone touched by cardiac arrest: www.sca-aware.org/sca-network Everyone at Avive wishes you the very best in your recovery.

@@avivesolutions thankyou very much

We are very sorry to hear that. It sounds like you took action and did all that you could. Sadly, just 1 in 10 people who suffer Sudden Cardiac Arrest currently survive. We're working hard to try and improve that.

Oh X'D You hadn't seen any of their RU-vid podcast videos have you? :'D They always instroduce themselves with both name there. I can highly recomend those videos/podcasts, too. Alays fun and interesting!

Amen 😎 bro

But didnt god plan for the heart attack to happen in the first place? kinda cruel if you ask me.

His SCA occurred before COVID vaccines were available. He had no warning signs or family history of heart disease, and as far as we know, he still isn’t sure why it happened. This is not unheard of, as many cases of SCA remain unexplained. This is exactly why its a good idea to be prepared with CPR training and an AED on hand or nearby. Thankfully, Dr. Flanary uses his platform as a speaker and comedian to raise awareness about how CPR and AEDs saves lives.

As far as we are aware, Dr. Flanary was never given a medical explanation for his Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Sudden Cardiac Arrest can happen in people without heart disease, strikes all ages, and impacts 1000 people every single day in the U.S. alone.

It indeed did not have anything to do with that. At that time the pokie things you probably mean were not invented yet. Which is why ppl were isolating and she had to find thing out via twitter rather than being able to visit him n person.

Looks like Mila Kunis

???? She looks younger than him

unless he was in the trials, bc the event happened in may 2020, or maybe he was a post covid patient.

lighten up

Online addiction is a real problem. In his case he’s a social media influencer as well as a physician, but still he’s human. look at us, we are on RU-vid commenting on a video what does that say about us?

“SAD” said the loser in the RU-vid comments to the Ophthalmologist

Glenn: Dr Gloc is a special incrediblely talented individual. You are another hand show unmitigated ignorance.

Come on buddy, stop projecting your insecurities online
