DuPage hospital stops heart attack in 14 minutes

Ken Roush was feeling stressed last month over the stock market's plunges when he suffered what could have been a fatal heart attack. But quick-acting emergency personnel and a record-breaking medical procedure saved the Glen Ellyn man's life. 'It's nice to see you again ... from the bottom of my heart,' Roush said to the cardiologist and one of the paramedics who treated him. The trio was reunited Tuesday at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Illinois, USA. Roush, a 74-year-old marketing consultant, recalled how he started to feel uncomfortable on October 9 while driving to work.
