On October 20, 2006, a middle-aged auto mechanic, Jeff Markin, walked
into the emergency room at the Palm Beach Gardens Hospital and
collapsed from a massive heart attack. Forty minutes later he was
declared dead. After filling out his final report, the supervising
cardiologist, Dr. Chauncey Crandall, started out of the room. "Before I
crossed its threshold, however, I sensed God was telling me to turn
around and pray for the patient," Crandall explained.
With that prayer and Dr. Crandall's instruction to give the man what
seemed one more useless shock from the defibrillator, Jeff Markin came
back to life--and remains alive and well today.
But how did a Yale-educated cardiologist whose Palm Beach practice
includes some of the most powerful people in American society, including
several billionaires, come to believe in supernatural healing?
