‘It was clear she was dead’: Doctors bring Olympic equestrian back to life
Obstetrician Dr Mark Schembri and orthopaedic surgeon Dr Stephen Ruff give CPR to veteran equestrian Vicki Roycroft at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
Two doctors who provided CPR to former Olympic equestrian Vicki Roycroft when her aorta ruptured while show jumping at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, say “it was a privilege” to be able to help.
Obstetrician — and part-time veterinarian — Dr Mark Schembri, and orthopaedic surgeon Dr Stephen Ruff were attending the show in April, when Ms Roycroft slid from her horse unconscious, in the arena.
