An Ordinary Day, A Sudden Collapse
Dr. Sean George, a seasoned Consultant Physician in Western Australia, was returning from a rural clinic when he began experiencing chest discomfort.
“It was not a pain, but just a slight discomfort… I thought, ‘Oh, it must be something that I ate.’”
But moments later, his worst fears were confirmed. Reading his own ECG as both doctor and patient, he recognized the signs:
“Oh my God, I’m having a heart attack.”
Shortly after, Dr. Sean collapsed in cardiac arrest. For the next 85 minutes, his heart stopped beating.
“There Was a Corpse”: Declared Dead for 85 Minutes
Medical professionals fought to revive him with 13 defibrillator shocks and continuous CPR. Despite every effort, Sean’s body went cold and unresponsive.
“We had done everything… there was a flat line. His heart wasn’t moving. It was just a dead heart.”
— Dr. Steve Dunjey, Emergency Consultant
One Prayer That Changed Everything
His wife, Dr. Sherry George, also a medical doctor, arrived at the clinic believing she was coming to say goodbye to her husband. She took his cold hand and remembered her father’s words:
“Just go and pray.”
With trembling faith, she whispered a desperate prayer:
“God, he’s only 39… we have a 10-year-old boy. I need a miracle.”
At that exact moment, the flatlined monitor beeped. Dr. Sean gasped—his heart began to beat again.
“When I heard the monitor with the beep, I just thought, ‘Oh, that’s something very special.’”
A Medically Impossible Recovery
Though his heart returned, doctors expected severe brain damage, as he had been clinically dead for over 85 minutes.
“My kidneys had failed, my liver had failed, I should have had no brain function.”
But within 3 days, he opened his eyes. By day 5, he breathed unassisted. By day 13, he walked out of the hospital.
“My brain was 100% normal, which is just medically impossible.”
Miracle Confirmed by Science and Faith
Doctors of various faiths—and no faith—agreed on one thing: this was a genuine miracle.
“Medical science can’t explain apart from miracle.”
“This is the only time in my life I’ve seen something I would call a miracle.”
A Message of Hope: “Choose Life with God”
Dr. Sean and Sherry now use their story to inspire others to consider eternity:
“Please consider what you’re doing with your life. The most important decision you can ever make is where you will spend eternity. Choose life. Choose life with God.”
Final Reflections
This incredible testimony reminds us of the miraculous power of prayer, the compassion of God, and the hope of eternal life. It stands as a modern witness to what God can do—even when all hope is lost.
“God answered my prayer, even though I didn’t have the faith… He is God.” — Sherry George
