From First Up, 5:44 am on 22 August 2019

A passenger who collapsed in an international airport may never know an off-duty doctor from Wellington saved their life. Dr Geraldine Jordan was checking-in her bags and saying goodbye to family when a call went out for a first aider. She discovered the person was in cardiac arrest, but that no one around him knew how serious the passenger's condition was. Now, the GP wants people to consider enrolling in CPR courses so they can spot the signs and begin resuscitation.
