A dramatic event on my commute home at lunch time.

As I entered the outskirts of my home village one of the first biuldings is a hotel.

There I noticed a lady, as i approached having a problem with what turned out to be her husband.
Just as came alongside them the man collapsed onto the pavement.
I immediatly hopped off my bike to lend assistance.
I assesed straight off that he had suffered a "cardiac Arrest"
Having had first aid qualifications, I set to making him as comfortable as possible.
He had a very faint pulse beat. So again I immediatly started to administor Artificial resusitation.
Couple of minutes of this, Someone dived down beside me and stated she was a nurse, so I let her take over, and assisted her until paramedics arrived ( very quick response on their behalf, great work guys) . so I left the scene
I just hope the guy survives and that our assistance saved his life.
P.S I will stop off at the Hospital tommorrow and check on his well being.
