A Missouri surgeon was moments away from harvesting a living man's organs - but the helpless patient's doctor intervened just in time.
Larry Black was on his way to his sister's apartment when he was shot in the head on March 24, 2019. He was just 22 years old.
Just a week after the harrowing ordeal, the young man was being rolled into an operating room at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital to have his organs removed.
But his doctor, Zohny Zohny, never declared Black brain dead, and his heart was still beating.
It was only his first year on the job when the then-34-year-old doctor heard his patient was on the operating table without his go-ahead. He did not hesitate to take action.
