For people who have experienced a medical emergency, it’s not very often they have the chance to meet the men and women who tried to save their life, or better yet, say thank you. On Tuesday, one local man got to do just that.
In this case, the survivor suffered a heart attack at work. It was so serious that at one point, first responders were sure they had lost him. But as time would tell, this was not the end of his story but the beginning of a new chapter. Without skipping a beat, watching him walk through the doors of the mayor’s conference room, you would never guess how lucky City-County credit union worker Matt Meisenhelter truly is.
“In short, I had a heart attack,” he said. The day was May 28, the Friday before Memorial Day.
