Daniel Hernandez Saved Her

''Immediately following the injury, it was not only the quality but also the speed of the care Giffords received that probably saved her life. “As we say in neurosurgery,” says Black, “time is brain.” Crucially, one of Giffords’ aides positioned her so that blood did not impede her breathing. Subsequent transport to the Level 1 trauma center at Tuscon’s University Medical Center, and the care given once she arrived, was very rapid. Reportedly, only 38 minutes transpired between the time she was injured and when she entered surgery.''
