Dr Gunning saved my life by putting me on ECMO in 2008, when it was seldom if ever used on adults and I was 42 at the time. In June 2016, my 71 year old father had a massive cardiac event & after being given CPR in the field for 45 minutes, was brought to Dr Gunning. I'm pleased to say that my father walked out of the hospital 3 weeks later, on his own accord. My father & I very literally, owe Dr Gunning our lives.
