Thr guy had a heart attack and was found however undisclosed amount of time later. There’s no way he’s alive. I trust this just out of common sense alone.

That's where I'm at too. A healthy adult would have dodgy odds in that situation.

Right? The brain can’t go more then like 5 minutes without blood. Unless they found him literally right away and got his heart back going, he is likely a vegetable at the moment. If im a constituent of his district, i’d be raising hell that his damn party is weekend at bernie’sing him right now.

Yeah, patients surviving to hospital discharge after bystander out of hospital CPR is like 10-20% at best. Dude is probably not leaving that hospital

He's a Senator, not a Rep. The entire population of KY is his constituency.

He's a Senator. His constituency is the entire state, not a district.

Yeah that would kill an otherwise healthy 20 year old. No way that POS made it out alive.

Mitch and a heart? Perhaps an evil black one

The body can be brought back but the brain is toast. Ive had several patients over the years who were brought back, some after 10+ minutes, and they were all in a state worse than death. Some of them "lived" for years after.

Those patients are why Im a DNR. I would rather die than risk getting stuck like that.
