A woman who was clinically dead for at least 42 minutes revived after Australian doctors treated her with a hi-tech machine that kept blood flowing to her brain.
The miracle patient was rushed to hospital after she suffered a major heart attack, but was declared clinically dead soon after arrival, News.com.au reported.
