Hahaha, basically came here to tell a very similar story.

Came out of a bar with a bunch of paramedics, ED docs, nurses and even our medical director.

Waiting for the subway an older woman collapses, straight into cardiac arrest. CPR(chest compressions)started within seconds, AED (automatic external defibrillator)on within minutes, ROSC(return of spontaneous circulation) before the first ambulance crew arrived.

Pretty funny overall, especially as none was really that sober anymore. Props to the guy trying to shove our medical director away saying "Let me pass through,I have a first aid course." Our med.director only responded with a "and I studied medicine."
