At the right time in the right place, the retired nurse Margarita Schöfl and the long -term paramedic Eckhart Herbe. Stefan Hirschhofer (34) had collapsed from the blue while jogging. Only thanks to the rapid intervention of the first care providers did the man survive, it is healthy again today.
It was an almost incredible chain of coincidences that took place on 18 February of the previous year on the Donaudamm -Bietpad near St. Georgen an der Gusen and saved the life of Stefan Hirschhofer (34).
Group stood around
“It was a wonderful Sunday. My husband and I actually wanted to cycle to Linz, but drove spontaneously in the other, “says Margarita Schöfl. “We were only on the road when I saw a group of people who stood around a jogger who lay on the floor.”
Only one happened
The previously healthy and sporty 34-year-old had collapsed from nowhere. “A young man was already on the phone and asked who dares to resuscitate,” said the 65-year-old. While everyone remained silent, the retired nurse immediately took action and leaned to the unconscious.
Passers -by –
“When I turned it on my back, some bystanders wanted to stop me. They were worried about vertebra wounds or wanted to bring him into a stable side position, “said Schöfl, who was not postponed and re -inimated Stefan Hirschhofer until the salvation arrived.
“It will be again”
A former colleague of the nurse and long -term paramedic, Eckhart Herbe (56), also came by by chance and went to the hand. “After the blood circulation with the defect by colleagues, Stefan breathed again. His heart also continued. I knew it would be again! “
No chance without help
And the courageous helper should be right – Stefan is very healthy again today. “Margarita acted well and bravely when others were just and bridging the most important minutes,” praises the retired nurse. “He would not have survived without them!”
