Though weak and drugged, he breathed through it for what surgeons said was an unprecedented seven hours. He said his wife alerted him to the fact that a man was running towards them with a gun, but he fired before they could stop him. As a last slim chance he was put on a lung support unit in the hope that, if he breathed through it long enough, the lung would be jogged back to working order. One lung was cut out and the other failed. One lung was cut out and the other failed.
As a last chance he was put on a hud relevance committee.
