Cardiac incident. Resting comfortably
I had a cardiac arrest in high school. Bouwmeester was probably in the best possible situation for it to happen. Having doctors and EMT on location, with AEDs at the ready is probably the best case scenario for survival from what I remember them telling me. It was something like minimizing the time between the moment the heart stops and the moment chest compressions starts will maximize the odds of survival. I have to imagine they'll implant an ICD and it takes like 4-6 weeks for the leads in the heart to really heal up. Granted, I got this info a decade ago so I might not be remembering everything correctly.
