Billy and Joe get a unique opportunity to sit down with a cardiac arrest survivor to hear their unbelievable story of survival!
Our guest is a cardiac arrest survivor who suffered their event in 2020 and if it weren't for early recognition, bystander CPR, quick 911 response, dispatcher guided CPR, ACR protocols and all the nurses and doctors at the hospital, our guest wouldn't be here today.
A wonderful story that could only be told by a survivor.
