The raw, harsh, graphic, true story of a world champion athlete, sports nutritionist, trainer, and coach who survives something that kills most when it hits. Survived, but not without many failures of the system.

A Widowmaker heart attack gives no warnings, no second chances, and no forgiveness. Most people never survive it long enough to reach a hospital—yet when Sean “Boom” Hancock stumbled into the ER, he was barely hanging on to life, begging for help, and fighting against a storm inside his chest that was seconds from ending his life. What should have been a race to save him became a cascade of delays, disbelief, and fatal mistakes.

Still Here — 5 Minutes Too Late: Survival is the true, unfiltered account of how a healthy 48-year-old athlete—world champion arm-wrestler, triathlete, and sports nutrition expert—nearly died in front of trained medical professionals who failed to see what was right in front of them. It began months earlier with a boating accident, a full-body CT scan, and a missed diagnosis that could have changed everything. His heart disease was visible, documented, and ignored. No phone call. No warning. No treatment. No chance to prevent what came next.

Six months later, Sean found himself on his knees on the emergency room floor, purple, vomiting, drenched in sweat, screaming that he was having a heart attack. Instead of being rushed to life-saving care, he was told to calm down. Told to answer questions. Told to wait. Every minute that passed killed more heart muscle—and those minutes would become the difference between life and death.

This book exposes the terrifying reality of medical dismissal: how bias, broken protocols, and simple indifference nearly cost him his life. It follows the exact timeline of his heart attack in real time—symptoms, delays, the catastrophic ECG pattern no one acted on, the moment his heart stopped, and the frantic fight to bring him back. It reveals what happened in route, what should have happened in triage, and what every patient and every ER nurse or doctor needs to understand about chest pain, timing, and compassion.

But Still Here is more than a medical failure story. It is a story of grit. A story of a man who refused to die. It is the voice of someone who remembers every moment—the fear, the confusion, the betrayal, the pain of knowing he was right and no one believed him. And above all, it is the story of surviving something almost no one survives, and waking up to the heavy truth that his life would never be the same.

This book is for anyone who has ever been brushed off by a provider, anyone who has doubted their own symptoms, and anyone who has wondered if the system they trust will actually help them when they need it most. It is a warning, a lesson, and a call for change within emergency medicine. A CT dismissal that would have prevented the attack itself. Five minutes earlier, that could have saved him from permanent heart damage. Five minutes earlier could have spared a shorter life and months of suffering. Five minutes earlier could have changed everything.

Yet somehow—despite every failure, every delay, and every second he didn’t have—Sean Hancock is still here.

Still alive.
Still fighting.
Still telling the truth so others won’t be five minutes too late.

Dedicated to others like me — past, present, and future.

My mission in this new chapter of my life is to raise awareness of what a heart attack really is, what it feels like, and to help people seek treatment before it's too late. And to every healthcare provider: offer compassionate care without hesitation — because the people who come to you may already be fighting for their lives. No one should lose their future in the last five minutes of waiting.

Descrizione dello Store

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
