A man whose heart was re-started 12 times has been reunited with the Welsh Ambulance Service staff who saved him. Three ambulance staff fought for an hour to save 35-year-old builder Ian Burston after he suffered a massive heart attack at his girlfriend's home. The father of two from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, thanked them in person after they visited him during his recovery. Paramedic Gareth Williams said: "You do get people back but 12 times is pretty incredible." The incident happened at about 0800 BST on 15 April, when Mr Burston collapsed after feeling unwell on his way to work. Ambulance crew Adrian Cook and Steve Jones were on scene within a minute, closely followed by Mr Williams in a Rapid Response Vehicle. - BBC
