An Australian DJ has a heart attack – in the middle of his radio show
Ian Blackley is the popular mid-afternoon host on Mix 94.5 in Perth. It was about half-way through his 12-4pm shift, about 2:30pm, when he began feeling pain in his chest, and told a station staffer, “‘I feel like I've got a car parked on my chest, I've got tingles in my arms.” Immediately, someone else jumped on the air, and Blackley was rushed to an area hospital, where doctors found a clot in an artery near his heart that required a stent to open. Blackley is in stable condition, but as the West Australian newspaper wrote, “it was only Mr Blackley’s quick thinking to alert colleagues to his discomfort that prevented the situation from ending in tragedy.”
