A woman has been reunited with the emergency responder who collapsed from a heart attack in her living room - while treating her for a cardiac arrest. Daisy Devane, 31, collapsed on the sofa at home and her husband, Eammon, 33, performed CPR before the ambulance crews turned up. One of those responders was senior emergency medical technician Jeremy Williams, 55, who was timing the chest compressions when he felt an instant pain in his chest. The medical team split in two - half working on Daisy and the other half trying to save their colleague. He was whisked away and taken to Lister Hospital, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, and treated for a heart attack, while Daisy was taken to Bedford Hospital, Bedfordshire. Although Daisy doesn't remember the incident, as she lost three weeks' worth of memory, she is so "grateful" to Jeremy and the other responders. She was reunited with him over a year on and says she wished she had done it sooner.
