Keith Rosser, 58-year-old director of a building maintenance firm from south Wales in the U.K., suffered 12 heart attacks in just 40 minutes!

He survived thanks to paramedics who started his heart 12 times.

“I feel much better now and it’s all thanks to the ambulance crew that I am here at all,” Rosser said. “They were absolutely marvelous. I’m just so grateful to them.”

After giving electric shocks to Rosser ten times, the ambulance crew gave him anti-blood clot injection but he suffered 2 more cardiac arrests before he was stable enough to be flown to the hospital.

Mr. Rosser, who survived a heart attack 7 years ago, is now recovering from his ordeal at home.

The Guinness Book of World Records no longer monitors figures for the most times a heart has stopped, but 2 years ago a man suffered 32 heart attacks.
