Stroke of luck

An engineer who had a massive heart attack was saved by the hospital machine he had fixed just minutes earlier.

As he packed his tools Nawal Mayor, 54, fell down clutching his chest.

Doctors hooked him up to the X-ray heart scanner, used to find blockages in patients' arteries.

Nawal came round four days later after two ops to clear a major artery and fix a heart valve.

The father of two, of Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, said: "I'm not that religious, sometimes you wonder where He is. But He was certainly there the other day.

"Had I been anywhere else, it would probably have ended differently."

Professor Adam Timmis of London Independent Hospital in Stepney Green, East London, where Nawal collapsed, said: "It's little short of miraculous he survived."
