Last night we had a show, three bands played on one evening. Our gig went very good, everyone was enthousiastic. While listening to the last band the drummer went unwell. I directly saw it was not so good, he had a cardiac arrest, as a intensive care nurse I know what to do and jumped on the stage and started reanimation. The reanimation took half an hour including professional help and still his condition was very worse. I do not know if he made it.
It's a terrrible experience, in my work I had to do with this kind of situations very often. But now it seems al so unreal but still it happened. All the people were very shocked. My mind goes to his relatives and friends, what must be a nice evening turned out in a disaster.

Just had to write it off.

Sounds like a rough night all right. Mark Sandman died of a heart attack on stage, so I guess it's not unheard of. It's nice to know that some people are ready to give us CPR at a moments notice though.
