Dead in a Heartbeat is a television film that originally aired on TBS on March 3, 2002.
Dr. Hayes assured the patient that it is such a common and safe procedure and sarcastically claimed that she could even perform the operation blindfolded.
A receptionist receives a phone call from someone who claims that there is a bomb in operating room #4 that will explode at 1:00.
Dr. Hayes was in the middle of surgery at the time, operating on the nervous patient, and said that evacuation was not an option.
Dr. Hayes refused to leave and was angry with Tom Royko for coming into the operating room unmasked and thus contaminating the patient.
A cellular phone was found in a Federal Express package in Dr. Hayes' office.
They brought Mr. McDonald into a different room where they attempted to remove the pacemaker, assuring him that everything would be fine.
Dr. Hayes eventually learn a man named Zachary Franklin is planting the bombs because his son died during her surgery.
Dr. Hayes and Lt. Royko arrived at the elementary school and brought the boy into a room to operate on.
After officers come to check her house, Franklin calls, and says that tomorrow, on Sean's 14th birthday, he will kill 14 patients.
Franklin implanted a pacemaker in Lt. Royko's son, kidnaps Dr. Hayes as she is coming to the hospital basement, connects Lt. Royko's son's pacemaker with Dr. Hayes' pulse with a special device, and then commits suicide by jumping off the hospital roof with a bomb.
