Defibrillators
We’d a Christian Erickson moment after our match today. The other teams were warming up when one of them collapsed. Straight away you could tell there was something serious happening. He was put in the recovery position and started fitting. 3 of our team are medics so rushed on the to the pitch to give him CPR while the ambulance came. One of the players wives was also there and she’s a doctor too. He had no pulse at one stage and when I got there with the defibrillator his face was grey. Thankfully the lads got him breathing again and used the defibrillator. The ambulances were there with 2 minutes of the 999 call. Without doubt the Defibrillator and the 4 doctors who were there saved his life. We’ve heard he’s doing well in hospital.
Today was also the first time we were allowed use the dressing rooms since Covid which is why we were all still around.
Every place should have a defibrillator that’s accessible.
