Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s life is typically eventful.  However, this month he has not only suffered from Swine Flu he contracted in Afghanistan, released a new book full of medical miracles, he even jumped into the Arctic Ocean to test out a theory on himself.

In his newly released book, “Cheating Death,” Dr. Sanjay Gupta reveals medical mysteries that doctors found in near-death experiences of themselves or their patients’.

“What he found were techniques that increased heart attack recovery rates by 20 percent, a new method for therapeutic hypothermia that prolongs the efficiency of treatments, and many other techniques that have led to medical miracles.”

While traveling to Norway, Dr. Gupta spoke to a local Emergency Room physician who survived an accident being stranded in the freezing water for several hours, while away at medical school in 1999.

“She recovered despite her body temperature dipping to 56F. Her story supports the growing medical theory that, in some cases, hypothermia may actually help save lives since it allows the body’s metabolism to slow down enough to repair other damage.”

According to Vitals.com, Dr. Sanjay Gupta is a neurological surgeon among many other appointed positions.  He is currently CNN’s chief health correspondent and was even offered the Surgeon General position for the Obama Administration from which he later withdrew.
