Then the air ambulance arrived and they hooked me up to a defibrillator.They sent three electric shocks to my chest and when the third didnt work they started to lose hope. But my friends told them, Do not give up, David is fighting hard. Somehow they could see that my body was fighting to stay alive.After the fourth my heart started again. The ambulance worker turned to my friends and said, I have a pulse. Everyone started cheering and crying.
