Cardiac arrest survivors honoured by Middlesex-London Paramedic Service

Held at MLPS’ headquarters in south London, Ont., Thursday’s event marked the first time since the start of the pandemic that officials were able to hold the ceremony in-person.“In 2020, there were a total of 743 responses to cardiac arrest calls within the Middlesex-London response area. Of those 743, Middlesex-London Paramedic Service treated 381,” said MLPS Chief Neal Roberts in an address to Thursday’s ceremony.

“Basically, my medical condition flip-flopped … stopped taking my pills, as per the doctor’s request, and eight days later, I was unresponsive in my bed,” Graham said, adding that he remembered absolutely nothing from May 11, 2021, when the cardiac arrest occurred. “I have a whole new appreciation for everything … medial tasks that seem mundane are exciting to me now because I actually have that opportunity to do that. I get to see my kids grow up.”
