CARDIAC ARREST: Ripon's story
Episode description
Ripon was one of the 30,000 people to have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year in the UK, and he probably wouldn’t be here if those two strangers hadn’t have stopped, called 999 and started CPR. On this episode, Bill Snaddon from the BHF talks with Ripon, whose decision to turn right instead of left outside of a London tube station may well have saved his life.
