A success story from the UK

My parents had travelled down from Stoke on Trent to the BBC’s Maida Vale studios to hear a live concert, which I produced.

It was as they began their return journey on 29 February 2004 that events took a dramatic turn. Walking down platform 13 at Euston Station to catch the 11.55 Virgin Express, all seemed fine. As the whistle blew however, my father fell to the floor. A fellow passenger quickly got him into the recovery position and the guards call over the train’s tannoy system led to a young lady doctor arriving on the scene.

In the blur of time that then followed, three members of the Euston station team arrived, carrying the defibrillator unit – Lea Williams, Mario Berezuwski & Lawrence Maclin took immediate action and saved my fathers life.

Blue flashing lights signalled the arrival of Simon, the motorcycle paramedic who took over and immediately congratulated the train team on their prompt and decisive action. With my father (Terry) on a stretcher and my mother (Sylvia) on the stations mobility vehicle we found our way to the waiting ambulance which took us all at speed to University College Hospital. What a short ride that seemed to my mind to take forever.

What followed?, Well, an immediate transfer to the heart hospital on Westmoreland Street, and a diagnosis that necessitated a triple bypass operation that was carried out at 08.30 am the following day. Surgeons and staff within the intensive care unit were superb – their dedication humbling.

One week later, we did get to make the journey north, this time we did it by road. My dad is now recovering at home, doing well and is looking forward to his next trip south which will be as an outpatient in a few weeks time.

All that remains to be said is how much our family would like to thank everyone involved. The Euston defibrillator team saved my dads life and will be forever grateful.
