On Thursday a helicopter flew very low over the house, I checked on Plane Finder, it was the Air Ambulance, I followed its course up Mostyn St. , but never found out what was happening, but this morning we have the story..........these defibrillator are a god send.
The tearoom heroes who helped man collapsed in Llandudno street
he man was taken to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd after incident in Mostyn Street
Three members of the catering team at Habit Tearooms sprang into action grabbing a defibrillator to help the gentleman, believed to be in his 70s, on Mostyn Street after he took ill at around 5pm on Thursday.
Two doctors from a nearby surgery also assisted while other members of the public carried out CPR.
Staff members from the Habit Tearooms on Mostyn Street in Llandudno rushed to help an elderly man who collapsed on Thursday February 27.
Helen Mckenzie, who has worked at the establishment for two years, said: "A lady ran in and asked if we had a defibrillator because apparently the ambulance service know where they are located.
"One of our chefs, Gernot, started shouting 'Helen, Helen quick' and I thought he was just joking to begin with but sprang in to action when I realised he was being serious.
"We didn't see what actually happened but apparently the man had just collapsed and was lying on the floor by the zebra crossing.
"It wasn't just us, there were other people around giving CPR and two doctors from the nearby surgery had rushed over too.
Wales Ambulance Service were also called and sent one emergency ambulance, one rapid response vehicle and Wales Air Ambulance to the scene and the man was taken to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd by road ambulance.
Chef Gernot Sieker, who has worked at Habit Tearooms for a year, received first aid training in to how to use a defibrillator just three months ago.
He said: "I received first aid training a few months ago and thankfully they showed us how to do the defibrillator on a dummy.
"In the moment it all just came back to me.
"He looked quite poorly, I shocked him three times but I think he's been unconscious for about eight minutes.
"I was OK at the time because of the adrenaline but afterwards I was a bit shaken up, it sort of hit me afterwards the gravity of the situation."
It is believed the gentleman is now recovering at hospital. ref DP
