"Cardiac Arrest"

I don't have memory of any of this but five weeks ago whilst at a WGC community centre I had a cardiac arrest.
Fortunately I was immediately given CPR by an experienced person and an on-site defibrillator used. Emergency services quickly arrived and took over. Transferred to Lister Critical Care Unit where kept in an induced coma for 5 days. Brought back to consciousness and transferred to the Acute Cardiac Ward for further assessment and treatment.
Although I was totally unaware of all that happened in those early days I can only believe my treatment was both remarkable and professional. I would like to thank all involved for giving me a second lease of life. Dedicated kind staff.
