Crusaders fan thanks lifesavers
• By Matt Slaughter
JACQUI TURNBULL was
waiting in the line to watch the
Crusaders play the Blues with
her family last month.
The next thing she remembers
is darkness.
The 55-year-old had collapsed
after an asthma attack and if it
wasn’t for three doctors behind
her in the line, St John paramedics,
police and security staff,
Turnbull said she would be dead.
Said Turnbull: “We had parked
down on Lyttelton St and I was
walking quite fast because I
didn’t want Jack, my little grandson
to miss out on seeing the
horses going around.”
She didn’t have her inhaler
with her and when she got to the
gate and her family members
were getting tickets Turnbull was
feeling faint and decided to sit on
a nearby grass verge.
“That was the last thing I
remember,” she said.
St John ambulance staff came
to her aid and started doing cardiopulmonary
resuscitation but
she was not breathing.
That’s when doctors Tom
Brown, David Lyons-Ewing and
Rob Cole who were standing behind
her, stepped in and inserted
a tube into Turnbull’s mouth to

Cole, the doctors who saved her life.

“If they hadn’t have been
there, I was a goner.”

help her start breathing again.
“The doctors were actually
ICU doctors, it was so crazy, and
they just finished their shift to go
to the game.
“If they hadn’t have been there,
I was a goner,” she said.
The three doctors then left
Turnbull in the hands of ambulance
staff.
Said Turnbull: “The ambulance
apparently worked on me for 20
minutes or so before they even
left the stadium.”
TITLE-WINNERS: After suffering a life-threatening asthma
attack at the Crusaders v Blues game last month, Jacqui
Turnbull received tickets to watch the red and blacks beat
the Highlanders on August 8.

She was transported to the intensive
care unit at Christchurch
Hospital.
Turnbull’s family was told she
may suffer brain damage, but
miraculously, she recovered and
was discharged two days after
her asthma attack.
Crusaders staff heard
Turnbull’s story and invited
her, her daughter Jess Blomeley
and Blomeley’s friend Sophie
Thompson to the team’s training
in the lead-up to the Highlanders
clash, where she met with
Brown, police and security staff
who helped her, and coach Scott
Robertson.
Said Turnbull: “Tom [Brown]
the young doctor had actually
come in to see me when I was in
the ward, it must have been Monday
morning, so I had actually
met him prior to this. But because
I was so spaced out, just saying
thank you didn’t even cut it.
“It was really cool to be able to
go back there a few weeks later
and meet up with everybody and
it was very overwhelming.”
Meanwhile, Turnbull and her
family got free tickets to see the
Crusaders beat the Highlanders
on August 9 and said she will
never be caught without her
inhaler again.
