The day Ravinder walked back into the ICU feeling like a new man, he was filled with gratitude and respect for the staff who helped save his life. Ravinder’s story started with sudden chest pain followed by multiple prolonged cardiac arrests and interhospital transfer, ending up at St Vincent’s Melbourne.

He spent over 2 weeks in the ICU which included coronary artery stenting by a Cardiologist, pneumonia, more cardiac arrests and a very shocked heart to name a few of his struggles! Once he emerged from these life or death battles he proceeded to having a pacemaker and defibrillator device inserted.

Several months down the track and he is now walking 5-7km per day and has a new lease on life.

Thank you Ravinder for returning to visit us in the ICU and we wish you all the best from here.
