My husbands Cardiac Arrest

"My husbands Cardiac Arrest"

About: Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust / Emergency ambulance Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - City Campus / Cardiology

(as a relative),

On May 22nd 2017, My husband suddenly collapsed at my place of work and stopped breathing, an ambulance was called and a couple of my customers started to perform CPR. I was hysterical and ran across to my doctors surgery ( Highcroft Surgery ) to get help. The doctors and Nurses ran across to help my husband. Everyone worked so hard to save his life including paramedics, I was looked after by a lovely lady Lorraine who works in the office at the doctors, he was shocked 5 times in all and it took 55 minutes to get his pulse back before being rushed to hospital to have a stent.

I can't thank everyone enough for saving my soul mate x

I can’t imagine how frightening this experience must have been for you. I hope your husband is recovering well after his surgery and is feeling better.

We are proud to work alongside our GP colleagues and East Midlands Ambulance Service staff in delivering a very effective heart attack service. I’ll pass on your thanks to our cardiology team.

Sending my best wishes

Dr Alun Harcombe.
