Heart Attack? No Problem
Elsewhere I'm interviewing Radley Balko about his views on the criminal justice system. After checking in on his blog, I can't resist posting the video he describes as follows: "No, he wasn't faking... Cool footage of a Belgian soccer player who collapses of a heart attack
on the field, then jolts back to consciousness thanks to an internal
defibrillator he'd had installed due to a heart condition."
Video below the fold.

To be a tad more accurate, the player shown above appears to have experienced a fatal arrhythmia, from which he was successfully cardioverted out of by an implanted defibrillator device. He did not actually experience a heart attack, and no heart muscle was lost due to the event.
