Well done. I am myself feeling pretty bad. I had a guy of 55 have a heart attack on my flight last night coming home from TFS, I had to use the de-fib and shock him once, we got him back but he remained unconcious, we diverted immediately into Lisbon where he was seen and taken by paramedics.

I felt extremely frightened and couldnt stop shaking ,you never know how you will cope in a new situation. I know I did everything that I have been taught but I cant stop thinking about what I did and maybe what I should have done etc etc. to be honest not feeling very confident now about flying again as a No.1. But at least he left the aircraft alive but funny enough it still doesnt make me feel any better.
