KSTP-TV (Minneapolis) and its sister station, KAAL (Austin-Rochester) carried a story yesterday about a woman from North Dakota who was flown by Mayo MedAir to Rochester for care at Mayo Clinic. Here’s an excerpt:
Tanya Ginther was ruled clinically dead twice before doctors could figure out how to stabilize her heart. Now, she’s sharing her incredible story of survival.
Tanya and her husband Mike were packing up the car for Christmas at their North Dakota home a year ago when Tanya went into cardiac arrest on the garage floor.
The closest ambulance was 20 minutes away and an hour’s drive to a major hospital. For 16 minutes, Mike refused to let his wife die.

Thanks to Tanya and Mike (and the team that brought you to Mayo) for coming to the Administrative meeting in Rochester. For those of us who support patient care from the background, it touches us to see you, not just hear about your remarkable story.
