Survivor Spotlight: Gail Hogan
Gail collapses despite being young with no previous heart issues.
"I will never forget the day that I nearly died. I was a young journalist with a great career and starting a family. The only way I found out that I had any type of heart issue was when I went into sudden death."
Her coworkers had been trained in CPR and used it to save her life.
鈥淢y coworkers sprung into action because they had recently been trained in life-saving CPR protocols developed by the 番茄视频. They were the ones to keep me alive while the medics came.鈥�
Her treatment plan was based on research funded by the AHA.
鈥淭hey did many tests on me in the hospital after my cardiac arrest and created a treatment plan. My pacemaker, defibrillator and various surgical procedures have all been developed with research from the 番茄视频, which makes it pretty personal.鈥�
