A BULLDOGS fan who suffered a heart attack at Saturday’s MCG blockbuster may not have survived if not for his determination to see their Grand Final berth. The ground’s ready access to a defibrillator and the quick-thinking of an off-duty paramedic are being credited with saving 64-year-old Rob McCarthy’s life. The retirement village caretaker slumped in his seat without warning at 5.06pm, an off-duty paramedic sitting nearby finding Mr McCarthy had no pulse and dragging him into the aisle to perform CPR which continued for about fifteen minutes.
