Heart And Soul

In the fourth quarter, the doctor called a Code Blue.

Donna Tomlinson’s heart had stopped, and Methodist Stone Oak Hospital doctors and nurses worked to revive her.

She was out for a few minutes after the heart attack, until she heard the doctor say to stop compressions as she regained consciousness in the Intensive Care Unit. Tomlinson looked at all the relieved hospital staffers and had one simple question:

Tomlinson, 69, was in the hospital for an infection and was watching the Spurs in bed when she suffered a heart attack.
