Was playing five-a-side on tuesday night. Game finished. Was stifling…its indoor.
As we walked off, guy collapsed back in what looked like a comedy fall in feigned exhaustion, making loud snoring noises.
He had a massive heart attack. What a shock it is to watch somebody you know dying. Most people just seemed rooted to the spot. Barman gave him CPR, and I held his head, keeping his airway open and talking to him.
We had to do this for over half an hour…otherwise he would of died right there.
The paramedics finally arrived, and it took them another 45 mins to stabilise him enough to take to hospital.
Thankfully he survived.
Moral of the story is that if you have a heart attack and you are on your own, you are dead, and if you do CPR on your ADR or CPC…pay attention.
You don’t know when you will need to use that knowledge, and it is a life saver.
