Father-of-two Mark Lang suffered three cardiac arrests and was revived each time by a team involving a consultant cardiologist at Cork University Hospital (CUH).
An English tourist has returned to an Irish hospital to thank the doctor who saved his life during a heart attack.
Mr Lang, a former amateur rugby league player, said: “I woke up at 3am and thought I had indigestion, I started to be sick and after an hour, I had a shower; I thought that might help me feel a bit better. In the time it took Julie to park their car, Mark was whisked to the hospital’s resuscitation area as an emergency team prepared him for the catherisation lab and stent insertion.“They came from everywhere; doctors, nurses, all the clinicians, anaesthetists, the response was amazing.”
