James Ronan, a lorry driver, experienced a heart attack after dinner with his stepdaughters. His heart stopped, leading to a cardiac arrest. Paramedics used thrombolysis and defibrillation to revive him, requiring 26 shocks to restart his heart. After emergency surgery at St Bartholomew's Hospital, he made a remarkable recovery. Grateful for the lifesaving efforts, James expressed appreciation to the paramedics who acted quickly during a critical moment. He emphasized the importance of defibrillator use and bystander support in such emergencies.
"Suddenly, my heart stopped, and I lost consciousness. The ambulance crews worked on me for over an hour, and it was not until much later that I learned how severe it was."
"They were fantastic. I'll be forever grateful and can't thank them enough. It's unbelievable. I was literally a dead man."
"James survived his cardiac arrest due to the incredible teamwork of the clinicians on scene. It's great to see that he has made a fantastic recovery."
