This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. After Tom Parmenter's heart stopped beating, doctors and medical staff went above and beyond reviving him. His brain had been without life-giving oxygen for a dangerously long period of time. To protect his neurological function and preserve his quality of life, he was placed in a state of therapeutic hypothermia.

Through this experience, Tom states, "To be a miracle patient at the world's greatest hospital is an incredibly humbling experience."

Listen as Tom describes the experience from his perspective and shows his appreciation for everyone involved in his treatment and recovery, and how keeping a sense of humor is so important in overcoming obstacles.

Tom Parmenter is a self-described "free-range writer" who had an interesting experience and naturally wrote about it. His unique perspective are expressed through his sharp wit.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
