On August 21st, 2015, I was sitting at a desk at a customer site where I've worked for 18 years. I complained to a colleague of heartburn. I took a couple Tumms, took my glasses off, laid them on the desk and proceeded to convulse in the spasms of a heart attack dropping dead to the floor.
My colleague performed CPR and the department immediately called paramedics who rushed to my aid. On the way to the hospital I had severe arrhythmia and was hit unsuccessfully with a defibrillator seven times. They put a Lucas machine on me and at some point broke my sternum and several ribs.
