Celebrity doctor Sally Cockburn’s life has been saved by Alfred hospital specialists — and her pampered pooch, Molly.
Dr Cockburn, known in the media as Dr Feelgood, collapsed at her Bayside home on Sunday morning from a potentially deadly blood clot blocking her lungs.
She was awakened by her shih-tzu–cavalier cross licking her face and whimpering.
“I went out to feed the dog and suddenly found this incredible shortness of breath,” Dr Cockburn told the Herald Sun yesterday.
“It was like suffocation. I got myself on the floor, and I don’t know what happened then. The next thing I noticed the dog sniffing around my hair, panting and licking my face. I called triple-0.”
Scans revealed a clot extending up to Dr Cockburn’s heart and almost completely blocking both major arteries, a condition that is often fatal. Specialists admitted her to intensive care and administered a clot-busting drug.
