Franz G. (68) from Perg experienced a medical odyssey at Easter. The day after he was discharged from Kepler University Hospital, he suffered an acute heart attack. Cardiac emergencies often come out of nowhere, explains the chairman of a self-help association for patients.

On Easter Sunday, Franz G. (68) from Perg woke up with severe pain in his chest and found it difficult to breathe. So: rescue, blue lights, emergency room! The 68-year-old was examined at the Kepler University Hospital (KUK) in Linz and discharged.
