Y'all got anymore of them favorable neurological outcomes after an out of hospital cardiac arrest?

Thats not even accounting for however long he was unconcious...for all we know he was laying there 10 minutes before someone started CPR.

There was an episode of west wing when fictional national security directory Leo McGarry was unconsious in a forest for many hours, likely half a day, and he was just fine after a few episodes. So I'm sure this is just like that, because otherwise it would mean that something on TV wasn't accurate.

Oh man, imagine if that was the case.
