BROOKLYN
Joseph Tiralosi was released from the hospital Tuesday. He had
gone to the emergency room at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell
Medical Center on Aug. 17 because he wasn't feeling well. Within
minutes of his arrival, he collapsed and his heart stopped beating.
Doctors and nurses tried CPR and shocked him multiple times with
a defibrillator. A last-ditch effort to break up any clots finally
worked, and Tiralosi's pulse finally came back.
Doctors kept his body cold while they removed a clot and
Tiralosi's heart started working normally.
Doctors say he lived through the episode without incurring any
brain damage.
