Lynn’s life was saved by CPR thanks to the efforts of her husband and neighbour!

/in /by

When Lynn and Kent Wiles spent the morning running errands together, Kent found his wife lying on the dining room floor. Realising that she was not moving, he quickly called the ambulance for help. He placed the phone on speaker mode and followed the instructions of the medical dispatcher who was on the line guiding him on how to perform CPR.

Meanwhile, his neighbour, a physician’s assistant who heard the sirens from the distance, immediately ran to his aid and took over Kent, and performed CPR until the paramedics arrived.

Thanks to their efforts, Lynn Wiles survived!

Remember if you witness someone who had collapsed, always remember to call 995 and stay on the line with the medical dispatcher who will be there to guide you until the ambulance arrives!
