00:04 Okay, so who have we got here then?
00:07 David White, patient, and Tony White, his brother.
00:11 [Music]
00:13 Basically, it was just before Christmas and we were working on this hand compressor site.
00:19 And I was probably, I don't know, 15, 20 feet away from David at the time.
00:25 He was working in between sort of two big pallets and I looked over and he looked a bit strange.
00:33 And I said, "You okay?"
00:35 You know, I feel a bit dizzy.
00:37 And he sort of had a bit of a funny colour and sounded strange.
00:41 So I walked over to him and as I got within a couple of feet, he started to have a seizure.
00:49 And then I see the UKI's got called and the ambulance and luckily arrived within, I don't know, 5, 10 minutes it seemed.
00:59 I can remember working on the shutters, cleaning the shutters, taking them down and then bending down, cleaning them.
01:06 And as I got up, I just felt all dizzy.
01:09 And Tony said, "Are you all right?" I went, "Yeah, I just feel a bit dizzy." And then that was it.
01:13 [Music]
01:15 So I'm Brett, one of the paramedics for lives.
01:18 On the day of the incident, I got a call for a male who was having a seizure on an industrial site.
01:24 On my arrival, I was met by security who guided me to the location of where the male was.
01:31 When I got on scene, the male was unresponsive with first aid being carried out.
01:37 I carried out a full assessment of the patient, including giving the patient oxygen
01:42 and requested an ambulance assistance as a high priority emergency to get this gentleman to the right place at the right time.
01:49 [Music]
01:54 I left in the ambulance, he started chatting a bit more.
01:56 So it was within an hour, he was sat up and then say four hours later, I was wheeling him out to the care in a wheelchair and helping him in the care.
02:04 Because your legs were a bit stiff.
02:06 He had a bit of a seizure on his legs for a day or two.
02:09 Well I hope your MRI's clear, so you get your results mate.
02:12 And hopefully don't have another one.
02:15 Yeah.
02:16 Thank you very much.
02:17 Take care of yourself mate, it's good to see you.
02:19 Good to see you.
02:20 And you too mate.
02:21 Hope to see you again.
02:22 Yeah, in a professional way.
02:23 In a pub would be good.
02:24 In a pub, mine's a stellar, just saying.
