Ex-Kickboxer Thanks Medics Who ‘Saved His Life’ After Mistaking Heart Attack for Indigestion

Farshid Shafie, who experienced a sudden heart attack, recently met again with the ambulance team at Dudley Hub who provided the urgent care that helped save him.
The heart attack occurred suddenly at his home in Stourbridge, triggered by blocked blood flow and recognized by his son who called 999 for emergency help.
Paramedics Grace Field and Bethany Merrick promptly assessed Farshid, started life-saving treatment, and rushed him to Russell’s Hall Hospital, helping prevent further damage.
Farshid credited the medics' “skill, professionalism, and compassion” for his recovery, saying their care gave him a second chance at life and he is back swimming and driving.
The West Midlands Ambulance Service emphasized the importance of recognizing heart attack signs and urged the public to call 999 immediately to save lives.
