Stan Goldstein, a dedicated University of Maryland Terrapins basketball fan for over five decades, recently experienced a life-threatening cardiac arrest during a game in Iowa City. As the halftime buzzer sounded, Stan suddenly lost consciousness, collapsing in his seat. Quick-thinking EMTs and an automated external defibrillator (AED) saved his life, reviving him twice. After surgery to implant a cardioverter defibrillator, Stan embarked on a cardiac rehab program and received heartwarming support from well-wishers, including the Terps basketball community. Grateful for his second chance, he plans to attend every game this season, even returning to Iowa City to thank those who saved him and donating AEDs to the University of Iowa.
In August, a Moline resident is on the mend thanks to his daughter's life-saving CPR skills. Joe Hammond and his daughter Erin were frequent exercise partners. During a post-morning run rest, Joe experienced a sudden heart attack and collapsed. Erin, who had recently completed an online CPR course for her personal trainer certification, leaped into action. With guidance from a 911 dispatcher, she administered chest compressions until help arrived. Joe underwent a successful quadruple bypass surgery and Trinity's Pritikin Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation program, and is now on the path to recovery. Erin and Joe, now closer than ever, have resumed their walks together, cherishing the moments with gratitude.
