A man who suffered a heart attack and believes his life was saved thanks to the actions of 911-dispatchers and the paramedics sent to his Pennsylvania home, paid his saviors a visit to deliver an emotional monologue and present them with gifts.

A video of the man’s visit to the paramedics was shared to the Facebook page for Central Bucks Emergency Medical Services, which is located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, on April 25. The man told the paramedics that he believed he had been about to die when he suffered a heart attack and that the emergency responders that looked after him had his “eternal gratitude.”

He also said that he was “struck by how knowledgeable and articulate” one of the paramedics caring for him was when relaying information to the doctors at the hospital. The paramedics received gifts from the man, and he also provided similar gifts for the dispatchers that helped save his life. The video had over 5,700 views at time of writing.
