\"\"Sadly, many road accidents involving motorbikes end in tragedy. Without the added safety a car offers, bikers are of course easily exposed to serious trauma injuries if they are involved in an accident; and many often lead to fatalities. So it\u2019s nice to hear of an extraordinary survival story of a biker who fought against all odds to survive his ordeal.<\/p>\n

According to the report from Sky News<\/a>, 44 year old former warehouse Manager Steve Nixon technically \u201cdied\u201d 28 times<\/em><\/strong> after he suffered a massive heart attack<\/em><\/strong> in Leicestershire last year in a serious road accident. On scene paramedics revived him 5 times<\/em><\/strong> before he was airlifted to Coventry\u2019s University Hospital, where remarkably he was saved from his<\/em><\/strong> heart stopping a further 23 times<\/em><\/strong>. Each time the great team at the hospital managed to get his heart going again.
\n<\/p>\n

The source goes on to say that staff were unable to treat his injuries without stabilising his heart<\/em><\/strong>; he therefore immediately underwent a procedure to locate the problem with his heart. He was later fitted with a pacemaker by cardiologists in order to stabilise a life threatening heart rhythm disturbance<\/em><\/strong> he developed, and to repair a torn artery<\/em><\/strong>; procedures which prevented medics from helping him with his other serious injuries, described as a fractured skull, broken bones in his back and his arm, and nerve damage. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Nixon is described to be incredibly lucky to be alive<\/em><\/strong>. He has spoken out in praise of the work the staff did in saving his life <\/em><\/strong>and assisting with his recovery: \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for the treatment I received at University Hospital my family would not have a father or a husband. I cannot thank them enough or fault the superb care that I received<\/em><\/strong>. They are a truly remarkable team of skilled, dedicated and compassionate people.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s truly a remarkable story \u2013 it\u2019s great to hear stories where NHS staff have excelled and saved a patient\u2019s life; especially multiple times!<\/p>\n

I write a lot about just how easy it is to end up in a road accident<\/a> \u2013 I myself had a near miss on Friday which was aptly the subject of my previous blog. All drivers must ensure to maintain a high quality of due care and attention out there on the roads; and we must always make sure to keep an extra eye out for bikes<\/em><\/strong>. They are hard to spot \u2013 take extra care if you spot a bike to keep your eye on its whereabouts and position.<\/p>\n

If you are unfortunate enough to be in an accident that was not your fault, you are normally entitled to claim for compensation<\/a> for your suffering and loss. Speak to an expert firm of specialist independent personal injury lawyers<\/a> for the best advice and guidance on moving forward with a case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
