When Robert Routt collapsed alone in his home, his life quietly slipped away. His mother couldn’t reach him. His daughter found him unresponsive. Paramedics arrived—and found no pulse. After six shocks, one rookie brought him back from the edge of death. What followed was a coma, a stroke, paralysis, and a long fight to reclaim his life one painful step at a time.
