August 5th, the day when 3,000 lightning strikes were observed in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions.

Gwanhaeng Kim, a teacher at Gwangju Seoseok High School, received training at a university in Gwangju.

While on his way to lunch, he was electrocuted by lightning striking a tree.

He collapsed and received CPR after being reported by a citizen.

He was transferred to a nearby hospital and transferred to the emergency medical center at Chonnam National University Hospital.

The heart started beating again after receiving comprehensive cardiac arrest treatment at Chonnam National University Hospital.

40 minutes have passed since the heart stopped.

Because the cardiac arrest progressed for a long time, an artificial heart-lung machine was used.

There was little chance of survival, but

The patient was young and came to the hospital where he was working, telling him that he really wanted to save his life.

I was admitted directly from the emergency room to the intensive care unit.

On the first day, multiple organ failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation occurred, which was a major hardship.

I was able to come off the ventilator 10 days after being admitted to the intensive care unit.

Discharged after 28 days

Although Mr. Kim was discharged in good health, he has difficulty walking due to eating disorders, decreased muscle strength, and skin damage.

Return to school is undecided

Upon being discharged from the hospital, Mr. Kim Kwan-haeng donated 10 million won in donations to the Department of Emergency Medicine at Chonnam National University Hospital.
