So work today, first I was to be working with a casual employee who I have never worked with before, her name is Judi and she is "Caitlin" but 20 years older, very sweet, but they told me she has had the odd panic attack, so we opened the doors at 11am and within 15 minutes were packed out, I noticed Judi take off for the kitchen, so went after her and sure enough she is having a panic attack along with hyperventalating, I sat her down, got her face in a paper bag and went back out to face the masses ALONE, I wallked out on to the floor and I hear a lady say "Wilf are you ok" I turned to look and the man has his head down on the table, I ran over and realized that Wilf is having a full blown heart attack, OH NO...........time for my panic attack lol, this poor man was gasping holding his chest and was a horrid grey colour with eyes closed, now his wife starts to panic, arrrrrgh, I then ran to the phone dialed security and asked for an ambulance and any store medical staff we may have on duty, I went back to Wilf, he now looks worse and has a very weak pulse, I asked around me if there were any medical staff in the restaurant but every one stared at me like they were watching a movie, great, finally Darren showed up and took over, he has had paramedic training, thank god, and then shortly after Edmontons "calendar" firemen showed up, and stabalized him until the paramedics came, whew what a day, at this point I remember poor Judi in the kitchen, thankfully she is looking alot better and came back on the floor once I promised that I would take care of everything else if she just looked after the small 5 table section, needless to say I closed the friggin place an hour early, cleaned up and bought a 6 pack on the way home!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and Calendar firemen!!!! oh my god, I may have been busy but not to busy to notice that they were all "tens" haha, welcome to my world ;)

Wow and double wow! We have had the odd dog look like it is about to take it's last breath, but a man!!! That is a whole different story. Sounds like you handled the whole thing really well, however, you really did deserve your very own full blown panic attack! Good on ya girl!
They called the store, he is doing well but does need some surgery, the store manager came and told me that and said well done :)
