Coworkers jump into action to save teammate who collapsed on the job

[Stillwater Gazette, February 02, 2024] The Stillwater Gazette interviewed Jim Svoboda, an Allina Health employee who collapsed on the job when he went into cardiac arrest at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute - St. Croix - Stillwater in October. His coworkers immediately began working to save his life. They performed CPR, used a defibrillator and made sure the ambulance had a clear path to Svoboda.

From the Stillwater Gazette: Svoboda doesn’t remember going down or any of what happened in between that and waking up on a bed, hooked up to monitors. Doctors told him he had died for a bit after going into cardiac arrest. He thought for a split second that it wasn’t real.
