Telemetry floor, the monitor tech yelled out … ASYSTOLE ROOM 8, everybody runs to the room, this lady is flat lining!!!!! I am always the first one there for any code, its exciting and I run fast. I opened the curtain and screamed her name (I have a big mouth). The lady comes to!!! Yes, this was a 16 second pause and she reported later going “toward the light in a peaceful way” Luckily my mouth prevented her and gave her more time here on earth.
