A physical therapist sitting nearby noticed Ting-Chao Chau slumping in his chair. He was the first to respond, pounding on Mr. Chau’s chest, which caught the attention of a physician sitting next to Mr. Chau.
“Of all the seats in Carnegie Hall — that I’m in the immediately next [seat],” Daniel Roses, MD, a surgeon at New York City-based NYU Langone Health, told WABC.
Dr. Roses performed CPR in the lobby until an ambulance arrived.
Mr. Chau underwent surgery at New York City-based Lenox Hill Hospital. His treatment happened so fast that by the end of the concert, the conductor was able to announce that Mr. Chau survived, the report said.
