Following a checkup at Community Hospital South on Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017, Sonny Rooney talks about the massive heart attack he suffered five years ago. Rooney suffered cardiac arrest during his recovery from the attack, and it took six shocks from a defibrillator to get his heart beating again. After his brush with death, he returns every year on Dec. 16 at around 7 p.m. to thank the intensive care unit doctors and nurses on duty that night. Scott Roberson / Daily Journal
