Medical student saves teenage footballer’s life | VRT NWS: news

A medical student from East Flanders has helped save the life of a 14-year-old boy that suffered cardiac arrest while he was at a training session with the football team where he is a player. Jerôme Callebaut (23) says that every sport club in the country should have an automatic external defibrillator (AED) at its disposal. This was the case at the football club in Zottegem where 14-year-old Gilian De Wolf collapsed, and this was invaluable in Jerôme Callebaut’s efforts to revive the boy.
