“Did you save my life?” – And yes, Tommy’s savior appeared

Tommy Chan made a 5km race. But you don’t remember anything. I didn’t even know what had happened to her: cardiac stop.

It’s a story that could be tragic but it ended up well… folding. The person survived and won a friend who will be for a lifetime.

On May 20, the Canadian Tommy Chan went to make a 5km race. But you don’t remember anything. I didn’t even know what had happened to him: cardiac stop.

He woke up only days later, at the hospital, and still today has no memories, neither that day nor of the four days following the attack.

It was then that he tried to realize what had happened to him. Or at least where it was, who helped him…

Thanks to an application on the mobile phone, he managed to realize that he had finished the race between Bronson and Carling, in Ottawa, Capital of Canada.

It was after stopping, the race, which had the heart attack.

The application cannot tell you who saved your life.

Of course he knows he had help from the paramedics on the spot, which were essential, but the paramedics were only there because someone saw him.

Who?

To answer this question, he made a publication on social networks where he read only: “Did you save my life?“.

The question came to Tawnya ShiMu

Tawnya Shimizu is nurse. That day she was with her young daughter in the car when they realized that a man was on the floor.

“My daughter said to me,” Mom, you are nurse! You have to help you! “

And that’s when it started cardio-respiratory resuscitation Until the paramedics arrived. That is, it entered the “work mode”, quotes a.

When the (other) professionals took over the situation, Tawnya left. And I never knew what had happened next again.

Now, The victim and the savior have already talked. First online, at a distance, and then met in person at the past weekend.

In the radio program Ottawa MorningTommy Chan thanked Tawnya Shimizu, “the biggest thank you. I don’t know what else to say. You were right at the right time. I don’t know if I will ever be able to pay you.”

The nurse thanked humble: “You have nothing to thank. I think all the people who helped you that day helped you because it is part of human nature.”
