Surgeons crowded around the 23-year-old driver who had been rushed into the University of Michigan hospital with head and chest injuries from a vicious automobile accident. They scrambled to stop the bleeding. They tried to relieve pressure in the young man's brain. There was a flurry of movement, until his heart stopped. And then it was over. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent for CNN, recalls the incident in his new book, "Cheating Death: The Doctors and Medical Miracles That Are Saving Lives Against All Odds" (Wellness Central). Gupta was a third-year medical student at the hospital when the victim was brought in, treated and then suddenly pronounced dead.

He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School.
