- Dr Kevin Fong is an intensive care anaesthetist at London's University College Hospital. Every day he fights to save the dying and witnesses the devastating consequences of what happens when your heart has stopped beating. After just four minutes without oxygen, your body starts to die. Even if you are saved, the chances of escaping brain damage are minimal. But new research revealing how lowering body temperature may ultimately keep you alive is changing the way emergency medicine works. Kevin meets the doctors around the world who are pushing the boundaries to pull people back from the brink of death.
