Good morning, Brendan.
Hi.
I was.
I'm expecting a baby now in June, so...
I was on my way to my own prenatal appointment, driving past when I spotted, it turns out it's Brian, unconscious on the footpath.
So I pulled over to see if I could be of any assistance.
I was driving past and I spotted Brian.
He was face down, not moving on top of his bike.
And there was a number of people standing around him.
So I pulled my car in to see if I could help.
And I met the doctor that I can't remember her name, unfortunately, saying I can't find a pulse.
So I said, okay, I'll assist you to help to turn him over because I'm a physio.
And I assisted her to turn him onto his back.
He wasn't breathing in a normal pattern and we couldn't find a pulse.
So we
decided to start CPR at that stage.
Yes, so the doctor started chest compressions and I suppose I was conscious of my own condition, I probably wouldn't have been as effective as her.
And I have a pocket mask in my car that's made it through three cars with me.
And I was able to grab that and deliver breaths to Brian in between her compression cycles.
I suppose with CPR, he didn't come back around at that stage.
