A woman whose heart stopped beating for at least 28 minutes has heaped praise on the heroic ambulance crew who saved her life.
Louise Higgs, 59, went into cardiac arrest in August 2022 at her home in Angel, Central London. She was saved by London Ambulance Service medics who restarted her heart after more than half an hour of CPR.
Louise and her mum Joan have since had an emotional reunion with the ambulance crew to thank them for saving Louise's life. Joan, who is originally from Dublin, said she couldn't bear the thought of losing Louise, having previously lost her son 13 years ago.
