At the same time, a New Jersey man felt the minutes tick by as he ran out of time. Christian Volpe was lying in an ambulance racing north on Route 9 from the Town of Wappinger to Vassar Brothers Medical Center. The batteries that power his artificial heart pump had only minutes of juice left, and he needed new ones. Flynn, an electrical contractor from Red Hook, was carrying precious cargo, and he was running out of time to deliver it. A fellow Red Hook contractor, Robert Bump, had received a frantic telephone call minutes earlier asking him to deliver spare batteries he uses for a rare heart pump that had been implanted during the summer at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. If the batteries died, Bump knew, Volpe's heart would stop. "This was life and death," he said. "Cars were backed up at the Vanderbilt Mansion, so I just went around them," Flynn said as he recalled the wild ride last week. "The people in those cars must have thought I was a complete lunatic." Volpe had driven from his home in New Jersey to visit relatives in Wappingers Falls and had forgotten to bring his spare batteries along. Lying in the emergency room at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, Volpe wondered if his heart would stop before Flynn and Bump arrived. As the 15-minute window began to close, Flynn's truck, escorted by a state trooper's cruiser, arrived at the hospital. Bump jumped out of the truck, ran inside with the batteries and hooked Volpe up to a fresh power supply. "That was all I needed," he said. "Once Mr. Bump hooked up the new batteries, we went on our way. I hope I thanked him enough." Flynn said he was in Bump's office when the call came from nurses at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, where the pump, called a Left Ventricular Assist Device, had been installed. The external batteries last three to five hours.
