In October, Mr. Gee Fung called his wife to let her know he was not feeling well and began to slur his speech. He is a diabetic and his wife knew this was an emergency and called 9-1-1.
Mrs. Deborah Fung, a local teacher, rushed home. Upon her arrival, her husband was already unconscious, but being attended by HFD EMTs and paramedics. Mr. Fung was barely breathing with a very faint pulse. HFD members applied their AED and prepared to start CPR and defibrillate. They assisted his breathing and performed advanced life support measures to get his heart beating properly. A few minutes later, he would have been in cardiac arrest! He was transported to a local hospital and recovered from his medical emergency.
The Fung family will come by HFD station 75 to say “thanks” to their HFD heroes for saving their loved one and giving them the opportunity to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, Thanksgiving and many more holidays.
