This short documentary is a tribute to research and discoveries by Boston cardiologist Paul M. Zoll, MD. Beginning his collaborative work in the 1940s at Beth Israel Hospital, Dr. Zoll is credited with opening the door to life-saving and life-sustaining cardiac devices.
We worked closely with ZOLL Medical Corporation and Stafford Cohen, MD, author of “PAUL ZOLL MD – The Pioneer Whose Discoveries PREVENT SUDDEN DEATH.” Researcher and writer Sherry Reisner’s contribution to the development and production process included extensive picture and film research, identifying unique and rarely seen imagery of 20th C medical advances.
Paul Zoll had a better way.
