What Happened Last Week?
Last week’s pilot saw Martin, who suffered a cardiac arrest while driving but survived, thanks largely to the CPR skills of a neighbour, and is on the road to recovery.
The 76-year-old said: “They’re definitely on the Christmas card list.
“This was the first time they had done CPR, it’s an invaluable skill to have.
“I had a special pacemaker fitted and I’m now out and about walking. The staff at the hospital were great.”
