HEN former yellow Wiggle Greg Page suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in 2020 during The Wiggles’ charity concert at Castle Hill RSL, it was an off-duty nurse who saved his life through CPR and the use of a nearby automated external defibrillator. He was urgently transferred to Westmead Hospital, where Senior Staff Specialist Cardiologist Professor Pramesh Kovoor and the Cath Lab team inserted a stent into his coronary artery to essentially avoid any damage to the Wiggles’ heart muscle. Greg is one of the lucky ones; only 10% of people in Australia survive a sudden cardiac arrest. More: Page 6.
