Young Woman Survives Two Cardiac Arrests and 13 Electric Shocks on Highway 2

Tony Mayer, a 21-year-old woman, survived two cardiac arrests during a single drive on Highway 2, remaining without a pulse for 63 minutes and receiving 13 electric shocks. In an interview on the morning news program "HaOlam HaBoker," she expressed deep gratitude to God and the at least ten people who saved her life.

The ordeal began during a routine drive when Tony started feeling unwell, experiencing weakness, nausea, and dizziness. After pulling over briefly, she attempted to continue driving but soon had to stop again. Exiting her vehicle, she collapsed on the roadside and lost her pulse for the first time. A passerby stopped to help, followed by Leon, a volunteer police officer who began CPR. Members of United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom teams soon joined, delivering continuous resuscitation efforts including 13 electric shocks to restart her heart.

Tony’s battle was not over upon hospital arrival, as she suffered a second cardiac arrest, posing another critical challenge for medical staff. After stabilizing her condition, she embarked on a lengthy recovery process. Her survival is credited to the rapid and coordinated response of multiple rescuers and medical teams.

Summary: Tony Mayer, 21, survived two cardiac arrests and 13 electric shocks during a drive on Highway 2, thanks to prompt rescue efforts and medical care, and is now recovering after a prolonged hospital stay.
