Man has heart attack during lecture on heart disease
LEWISTON - A CARDIOLOGIST and a team of nurses are being credited with saving the life of a heart attack victim, but it wasn't in an emergency room.
Dr William Phillips was giving a lecture on Monday on heart disease at the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston when he was interrupted by a man complaining of chest pain.
Dr Phillips asked a nurse to take the patient to the emergency room, but he collapsed. The victim wasn't breathing and had no pulse.
One of three cardiac nurses grabbed a defibrillator to help restart the man's heart. Meanwhile, paramedics arrived and took the patient to the emergency room. He is recovering.
After the interruption, Dr Phillips continued his lecture. -- AP
