The Day My Heart Stopped

At age 37, on an ordinary day, Dr. Leo's heart stopped for more than nine minutes. He was a physician in the prime of his life. There was no warning.This is the story of what happened, and what it taught him about strength, survival, and what really carries a man through the worst day of his life.In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Leo shares the cardiac arrest that nearly ended his life: the ordinary procedure that went wrong, waking up in the ICU with no memory of what had happened, and the surprisingly fast road back. He opens up about the people who carried him, the role his faith played, and the strange night he lay in a hospital bed watching the news. Most of all, he shares what the experience taught him: that the way you recover from life's hardest hits is decided long before they arrive, and that real strength isn't never getting knocked down, it's being ready to rise when you do. An honest conversation about resilience, and about building yourself strong enough in body, mind, and soul to survive whatever comes.Follow @male.quotient for clips and more.
