00:30and I discovered a man lying face down, ridging, eyes open, wipes the sheets. Clearly he wasn't
00:39drunk or stoned, something could happen much worse than that. I asked whether anybody had
00:45called in 999, nobody had, so I called the emergency services. They said turn him over,
00:52is he breathing? No he's not breathing. Can you get a defibrillator? I know he won't want
00:58to, he was just around the corner from the GP. So I looked up and there's Ed. Yeah, so I asked
01:04is there anything I can do to help because I'd just arrived at the scene and Geoff was saying
01:09he needed a defibrillator from the GP surgery just down there. So I went off to get the defibrillator
01:15and thought while I was there I would get a doctor as well. So then came back with defibrillator and
01:21doctor back to the scene. So I was meanwhile doing very amateur CPR as directed by the 999
01:28hospital, never done that before but hopefully we might have some good. Fortunately the GP then
01:34came along with the defibrillator and the GP began doing CPR in a more professional manner
01:39but she couldn't find the pulse, the man was clearly dead or bordering on it. Then the ambulance
01:45arrived and they did their wonders with injections and defibrillators and they brought him round.
01:53And this is, I checked, 15 minutes after I called in the emergency call for the first time from 999
01:59and brought the guy round. So that's very impressive work from the ambulance.
02:15It was quite clear from a cursory examination that something more serious had gone on and clearly
02:28that you've got to do something about it. I was slightly unnerved by the fact that nobody in
02:35the area had done that already and would urge anybody watching this if you do see someone
02:41looks like they're in trouble. Call 999, it's much better to be safe than sorry.
