Doctor Saves Little League Umpire's Life After Heart Attack on Baseball Field

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 5 – Doctor Poole performed CPR for 7 to 10 minutes to revive umpire Hiserodt after his heart attack, with colleagues and other doctors assisting in the rescue effort.

  • During a baseball game in Ladera Heights, Jeff Hiserodt, an umpire for Little League, suffered a heart attack and suddenly fell near home plate.
  • Jen Poole, a physician specializing in palliative care at Cedars-Sinai, was watching the event from the bleachers when she noticed calls for assistance and quickly went onto the field to help, despite having limited experience with resuscitation.
  • Poole administered CPR on Hiserodt for an extended period, repeatedly reviving his heart until paramedics arrived and employed a defibrillator to stabilize him.
  • Hiserodt said he lost the fight and joked Poole was "not a very big lady to get through all of this," while both emphasized the rarity of running toward such emergencies.
  • Both Hiserodt and Poole urge the public to learn CPR and support placing defibrillators in community spaces to improve emergency response and survival rates.
