The Remarkable Story of Joe

Featured, General Health

Dr. Mehmet Oz was traveling recently and he recounted the story of a man named Joe who went into cardiac arrest at an airport baggage claim area. Fortunately, Dr. Oz was also in that baggage claim area and he was able to save Joe’s life. After Joe recovered, he was invited on “The Dr. Oz Show,” for a reunion with his hero. In this clip, Dr. Oz introduces Joe to Dr. Dean Ornish (a student of Swami Satchidananda) and arranges for Joe to join the Dean Ornish Lifestyle Medicine program to help Joe never experience cardiac arrest again.
