Australian nurse rescues her own life

melbourne - An Australian nurse saved his own life by driving to his hospital in his ambulance when he got a heart attack. According to Australian media, no colleagues were in the area to bring him to a doctor.

Ambulance brother David Watson did not hesitate when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his upper body during a service in the small town of Casterton and began to sweat. He closed himself on a heart rate monitor and discovered that he had a different heart rate. 'That dropped alarm bells,' he told reporters on Tuesday.

Watson stepped into his ambulance and drove to a small rural hospital nearby. A helicopter then took him to a larger hospital, where he went under the knife with speed. A doctor later told the nurse that it was a miracle that he still lived: a blood clot had an important vein closed to the heart muscle.
