N.L. health minister uses CPR to save man’s life at Gander Legion
GANDER, N.L. — Newfoundland and Labrador’s health minister used CPR to save a man’s life at a local legion on the weekend.
John Haggie, a doctor, was digging into a plate of brewis — a traditional dish made of cod and hard bread — at the Gander Legion when the man collapsed.
Haggie refused to speak to reporters about it Tuesday, but the incident was confirmed by an aide.
The aide confirmed an earlier report that the man was not responsive and didn’t have a pulse — the two criteria to begin CPR.
