EP115 The Reality of Mortality at 24 | Jesse Amato

<p>For most of us, at 24 the world is at our feet. &nbsp;We are young and in our own minds we are invincible. &nbsp;That too was Jesse Amato's outlook, until on January 13 at 8:15pm he collapsed during a game of futsal and went into sudden cardiac arrest.</p> <p>If you're a long time RWTP listener here, you'll likely be aware of the stats around surviving sudden cardiac arrest. &nbsp;If you're not, well let me tell you know that the stats are mighty grim. &nbsp;It literally takes a miracle to find yourself in circumstances where the chain of survival exists. &nbsp;Sadly for Australia, many of you reading this won't even be all that familiar with what 'the chain of survival' is. &nbsp;If CPR is not performed within 3-4 minutes the brain dies. &nbsp;CPR alone keeps the brain alive (subject to brain damage pending time lost before commencement) then a AED device is needed to shock restart the hearts correct electrical rhythm.</p> <p>Jesse was fortunately one of those miracles and today he shares his experience and the impact that it has had on him.</p> <p>Another great episode with someone who rolled with the punches.
