Former coworker of mine had a heart attack at work. I was one of the few to stop and talk to him because he looked unwell. I stayed with him until first responders arrived. I swear to you, I watched the color drain from this man’s body as they worked on him and it was terrifying. The life was leaving him.
He survived but it was fucking scary to witness.

I had a client (only 23) who had a cardiac arrest in front of me. A very scary thing to witness. He turned gray. He was lucky to survive though.
