Heart-Stop Survivor Thanks Her Lifesaver at Sheringham Defibrillator Launch Cardiac arrest survivor, Sandra King, had an emotional reunion last month with the Community First Responder who restarted her heart. They marked the occasion by unveiling a new heart-starting defibrillator for the use of the general public, in central Sheringham.
At the unveiling, Sandra recalled the moment her family’s Christmas celebrations turned into a nightmare ‘I was at home with my children and grandchildren - we were just getting things ready for lunch and the next thing I knew was when I woke up in hospital two days later!’ Her children, Katy and Alex, had witnessed their mother collapse and realised that she was not breathing normally, indicating that her heart had stopped. Their first aid training kicked in and they immediately started chest compressions to buy Sandra time whilst her stunned husband, Dave, called 999 to summon somebody with a heart-starting defibrillator. The East of England Ambulance Service immediately dispatched a team, including the air ambulance from Norwich and the Sheringham Community First Responders (CFRs). Nathan Liberman was the CFR on-call, at his home just the other side of Sheringham, and he was at Sandra’s side within minutes. Continued on page 4...
