Heart attack reunion

Imagine you're about to go shopping, you jump into the car to head to the local shops, when suddenly you realise that something isn't right and you don't feel at all well.

That's exactly what happened to Gerry Hibberd.

She pulled onto the forecourt of Spire Glass in Amesbury in October last year, where she suffered heart failure.

Thankfully, because the staff there were first aid trained, they managed to keep her alive until the ambulance crews arrived to take her to Southampton General Hospital.

Thankfully, this story has a happy ending. Graham was able to catch up with Gerry and her saviours at a special reunion at Amesbury Ambulance station.

David Wilmot is a Community Responder Officer at South Western Ambulance Service and he talked me through how Gerry's life was saved.
