Standing outside a bar after watching a film at a local cinema, Sarah Parmenter took a sip of her drink — and suddenly blacked out.
‘The next thing I knew I found myself slumped on the pavement with the friend I was with anxiously standing over me,’ recalls Sarah, 48. ‘Apparently I had passed out for about a minute.’
An off-duty nurse came over and helped her up. ‘I felt a bit light-headed, but I just thought it was one of those things,’ says Sarah.
