Drone carrying a defibrillator saves its first heart attack patient in Sweden

A man in Sweden is alive today thanks to — in part — a drone. The 71-year-old had a heart attack while shovelling snow in December and was resuscitated by a nearby doctor after a drone flew in a defibrillator.

A bystander, who happened to be a doctor on the way to his job, used the AED on the patient after providing CPR.
