This past Tuesday, while club member Khom was warming up during regular club hours, he suddenly stopped because he felt dizzy. In a matter of 3-4 seconds, he no longer responded to queries and collapsed stiffly to the floor. I managed to catch him inches before his head hit the floor. As concerned fellow players gathered around to help, Khom stopped breathing. We had to administer CPR repeatedly to him over the next few minutes as both his breathing and heart stopped and started over and over. Thankfully, paramedics arrived less than 10 minutes later, and with their equipment, was able to monitor Khom's vital signs more accurately. At one point, they were forced to use a defibrillator on him. Thankfully, Khom's vital signs stabilized significantly after that, and he was transported to the hospital.
At this moment, Khom is resting at the hospital and appears to be responding to those around him. Our thoughts are with him and we wish him a speedy recovery.
UPDATE: Khom underwent quintuple by-pass and is now back to work. I've never heard of quintuple by-pass before!
