Baby Brought Back From The Dead After His Heart STOPS

This baby was brought back to life after his heart stopped. Lincoln Seay was born with his heart on the wrong wide of his body causing serious health complications. 

Four days after he went into cardiac arrest, a heart transplant became available for him. For the moment Doctors were able to stabilize Lincoln's vitals.

But as they were prepping him for heart transplant surgery his heart stopped and he died.

Doctors quickly opened his chest and started manually pressing his heart till they connected him to the heart bypass machine.

Dr. Michael McMullen told ABC News that that process usually takes 2 hours but they did it in 12 minutes.

Research Shows Black People Have More HIV Cases But Are Least Likely To Receive Medical Treatment

A new study shows Black people have the most new cases of HIV in America but are least likely to get treatment for the disease. According to NOLA reports:

The study looked at 9,824 adults who were diagnosed with HIV in 2010 and were alive three years later. Out of that population, 54 percent were black, 24 percent white and 17 percent Hispanic.
The medical care received by each group was similarly imbalanced.
