A high school student was competing in a rodeo when he died on his horse, right after his competition.
"I remember I woke up, and I just asked my parents what happened because I had absolutely no idea when it happened," says Dugan. "I was like at a rodeo and all of a sudden in a hospital."
"He has an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in his chest, which allows continuous monitoring of his heart rate and rhythm," explains Christine. "So anytime he has a disruption in his heart rate and rhythm, I am able to see that. I like to refer to it as the guardian angel for our patients." He was so impressed with Christine's degree from Duke University, as well as her husband's, who is also a physician, and their son, as well. He tells us he was thrilled when Christine wrote him a letter of recommendation for Duke, which is where he will go to school in the fall.
Dugan's even considering cardiology! His medical team couldn't be prouder. Christine says she sees great things in him and knows he'll be a huge success in anything he does.Dugan has gone to a Catholic school his entire life and has deep-seated faith, but he says this experience has taken his faith to a whole new level. He's beyond thankful for everyone who worked so hard to bring him back to life.
