Doctors at Government Medical College hospital here today claimed that one of their colleagues used an unusual process to revive a severely injured youth after his heart stopped functioning for a few anxious moments.
25-year-old Neeraj of Sapowal village received head and internal injuries in a road accident and was brought to GMC hospital in a critical condition, doctors said.
As the doctors were preparing for an operation, Neeraj suffered a severe heart attack.
The doctors said cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR), shocks and all modern technical and medical facilities failed to revive his heart.
