Did you know that Sudden Cardiac Arrest kills more people every year than breast cancer and lung cancer combined? Well I certainly didn’t and let me tell you it was a bit of a shock!
Cardiac arrest is responsible for 13% of all the people that drop down dead at work, according to new Punch client Martek which distributes defibrillators to save victims of cardiac arrest.
As a result of pitching this story to the press towards the end of last week combined with the fact I am the biggest hypochondriac going, I am convinced I might be next and am currently considering purchasing my own defibrillator to keep in my handbag.
