Wokingham woman thanks paramedics for saving her life

The team was supported by Southern Medical Rescue ambulance crew members Craig Sheppard, Kieran Cross and Kirsty Bayley.

Both teams performed CPR and administered two shocks and she was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.

Ms Mayne spent 10 days in intensive care and a further nine days in the hospital’s cardiac care unit before being discharged.

She said she wants to meet with the team again, both to say thank you and to ask questions about what happened and the treatment she received.

“None of the tests I had at the hospital could find a reason for what happened to me,” Ms Mayne said.

“It’s scary to think that one moment you’re enjoying a wonderful vacation with your family and 48 hours later, without any warning, you’re fighting for your life.”

She said that seeing the team again helped them both come to terms with what happened, and she said it “feels like we’ve turned a corner.”
