Dr Matt Morgan has met hundreds of people who’ve come back from the dead. Their hearts stopped, their bodies unresponsive, miraculously brought back from the brink of death by the modern ICU techniques in which he specializes.In A Second Act Matt introduces us to the patients who’ve experienced hypothermia, overdoses, cardiac arrests and heart transplants to see how their lives have been transformed by the second chance they’ve been given. Along the way, he shares the lessons they’ve learned along with his own realisations about life, how to make the most of it and ensure that it’s not wasted on the living.
"I’ve worked as an intensive care doctor for over twenty years, caring for patients who are in the thick fog between life and death. I’ve met hundreds of people who have died, were resuscitated and lived. I’ve long thought that these are the people that we should be listening to, not influencers or business gurus. They know what really matters." – Matt Morgan
