A Buffalo man’s life was saved in a groundbreaking way at Mercy Hospital—he’s the first in the U.S. to survive severe toxic gas exposure thanks to a device called ECMO, which temporarily took over his heart and lungs. His family says the hospital staff changed their entire view of healthcare, rallying around them during a terrifying ordeal. The emotional reunion this week between the survivor, his loved ones, and the medical team was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when innovation and compassion come together.
