On October 5, 2009, Terry Schoen suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at his place of business. Two of Terry’s coworkers witnessed the arrest and within seconds put
their training to use. Phoenix Fire Paramedics arrived on the scene and began advanced life support treatment. The paramedics transported Terry to a local hospital where doctors continued his care. Terry was later discharged from the hospital with no permanent damage.
