I had just came into work around 7 this morning. A co-worker and I was talking. I turn around to go do something and hear this huge thud. Dude fell over unconscious and had stopped breathing. I screamed for a co-worker to call 911 and started CPR. I got him to breathing again right before the paramedics arrived. Come to find out he had a heart attack and had to end up having emergency open heart surgery. I urge everyone who doesn't know how to perform CPR to learn as this is one of many examples I'm sure as how it's saved a life. We went by around 5pm this evening to see him but he was still asleep but we did get to talk to his family. There was no one else in the department except for he and I and the other co-worker I screamed at in the store would have never heard this guy due to not being anywhere near him at the time.........

C'mon Noms, that was uncalled for.

We had a customer at work last Sunday have an epileptic seizure in the store, she fell and hit her head on some shelving. Her mother didn't want us to call an ambulance, but we did anyway and they took her off to hospital.

She came back in a few days later to apologise for causing a scene - we told her not to be silly, we were just glad she was OK.

Motz - great job! Good on you!

Must be an incredible feeling Motley to know you were able to put your CPR training to use to save a life. I hope the open heart surgery went well.

Hi folks thanks just checked in with his family this morning. He's doing fine and expected to make a full, slow recovery. The doctors said if he'd been alone and it happened he would have been a goner because he had a partially blocked aorta. One of my friends said the aorta was known as the "widow maker" because it leads to death a lot of the times after being blocked........
