“Continue compressions, oxygen away, all else clear, charging, confirm the joules -200, evaluate rhythm, confirm shockable rhythm, SHOCK DELIVERED.”
Pain… the kind that was supposed to be once in a lifetime… twice in this life now. A primal gasp for air and then a loud scream of pain and loss. The sound bypasses the tube that is stuck in the patient's throat and the bag with a mask on his face.

The paramedics working on Adam flinch back in shock due to the surprising reaction.
“Well he’s definitely not dead, at least not anymore!”
“True but he’s still showing as a STEMI… we need to get him to the hospital ASAP.”
The patient is stabilised for now and is taken to the closest hospital for further treatment. Drugs such as Aspirin and Glyceryl trinitrate are given to the poor patient who is still in pain. However this pain is nothing compared to those first two ZAPS.
Adam looks around in confusion as he continues to have a mask of oxygen on his face. He recognises his familiar colleagues who he works with but this time he’s the patient on the stretcher.
Adam is taken into the operating theatre to get a Stent put in his artery to prevent him from dying…. Again.
During the operation a thunderstorm rages, winds topple buildings and tsunamis rage, volcanos erupt and earthquakes rumble. This seems to be nature's fury, potentially some form of god sent fury for the destruction that has been wrought upon the planet.
From the dust, the ashes and the rubble survivors appear. However not all survivors are used to this world. Some tired and injured young girls marvel at the technology on display such as the internet. Some strange creatures roam the continents, confusion apparent as they encounter creatures that see so much less, a lack of some form of self actualisation visible on their blank looking faces.
However they do make for an easy to obtain food source. A new set of predators has been introduced into the world.
