In this episode, we speak with Zoe Hitchcock, whose life took a dramatic turn 11 years ago in 2013. While walking along Oxford Street in London, Zoe experienced a cardiac arrest caused by a cardiac myopathy, resulting in ventricular fibrillation. That day, the saying "it takes a system to save a life" became strikingly evident.
Zoe shares her firsthand account of the cardiac arrest, the events leading up to it, and how that moment became a pivotal turning point in her life. We explore what Zoe remembers from that day, the role her husband played in the circumstances leading her to Oxford Street, and the critical challenges faced by the pre-hospital team on the pavement.
We’ll also discuss the involvement of the HEMS team, her transfer to St. Mary’s, and the recovery process that followed. Zoe reflects on how her perspective on life and family has shifted since that day and shares key take-home messages for listeners.
This conversation highlights the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of pre-hospital care systems in saving lives. For more insights, listen to Zoe’s original account in the linked episode: S02E01 - Zoe Hitchcock, Cardiac Arrest Survivor.
