On a side note my moms uncle had a heart attack and drove off into the grass median, people just drove past(pre cell phone era). Eventually a couple of guys drove by, stopped and began CPR and eventually a cop dispatched an ambulance.

Unfortunately they began COR five or more minutes after his heart had stopped, he survived but had permanent brain damage.

I don’t know if it was short term or long term memory loss he sustained. I just recall every time we went to their house he was surprised my mom and dad were married and would ask when they got married(decades before and had attended the wedding), He didn’t know any of us kids. He’d claim he hadn’t had sex in a month or more but his wife would say, i have to have sex three times a day now because he’s constantly complaining we never have sex(would’ve been funny if it was an act just to have sex lol).

And the only other thing I remember is she had to block channels on cable/TV because if he watched scary movie he thought it was happening in real life or if he watched the news he’d think the crime happened next door and get all paranoid until he would forget about it a few hours later.

She never sued(not even sure she could’ve) but his wife wished they would’ve let him die that day. She had to live with the aftermath of them saving him for 30 years and she said it was extremely sad seeing her husband like that every day.

He was ambulatory and could take care of himself but he just wasn’t fully there.
