Richey saves heart attack woman in pub

DEATH Row Scot Kenny Richey has been hailed a hero after he helped save a woman's life in a city pub.
Gina Wilson, 58, reportedly collapsed after suffering from a suspected heart attack.

And Richey, who also suffers from a heart condition, was first to her aid, while worried staff members called for an ambulance.

He found out that Gina uses the
same medication as him and the quick-thinking Scot gave her a dose from his own prescription.

The spray – which turns into nitric oxide when it enters the body to allow the blood to flow through your veins easier – helped buy Gina time until paramedics arrived at Dicken's Lounge, on Dalry Road.

Yesterday as she recovered at her home, Gina simply said: "He's my hero."

However, 43-year-old Richey played down his part in the incident.

He said: "I just did what anyone in my position would have done.

"I'm just glad I could help and that Gina is okay and hope we see her back in Dicken's again soon."

But Callum Anderson, owner of the pub added: "God knows what might have happened if he hadn't been there at the time.

He helped save her life, there is no question about that. He's a real local hero now.

"Gina works here for me part-time and is really popular with the regulars.

"They were all saying well done and offering to buy him pints for what he did."

Surely even Mr Richey cannot be so stupid as to not realize that Mr Anderson owner of the wonderful Dixons bar seems to be milking all the free publicity he can get for his own ends. In other words he is USING Richey to get more people into his bar.

#2, One who knows, I read the article and didn't really think to myself after "Wow, I must go to Dixons bar in Dalry." It's hardly an advert for the pub. I doubt very much Mr Anderson organised a heart attack for one of his customers, and made sure Mr Richey was there at the same time.

# 6 I am sure the incident was not planned and it was fortunate Mr Richey was there with his heart spray.

Dixons Bar just seems to get a lot of mention in media and I wonder who informed the media this time?

And while it may not make you rush to the bar, it will make many others rush to there just to see if they can meet Mr Richey.

Just an observation I have made.

#26 he was public spirited then. He did try to save the little girl three times and was not able to get into the apartment for smoke. the mother was not there remember so there was no woman to save.

#27 he may have been under the influence yes but he also did try to save the child. That is part of the record. And it is not under any dispute by witnesses or firemen.

He tried three times to enter the apartment and was finally restrained for his own saftey.

Very sad people making comments in here that are so bitter.

Sounds as though they jealous of the attention Mr Richy is receiving. Where he drinks is nothing to do with them.

If nothing better to say - say nothing!

Well done Mr Richy, at least the lady appreciated your help. At least Mr Richy showing he a better citizen than some of the above making comments such as they have.

I've been in Dickens a few times and always found it friendly enough.
Dont understand why the pub is being slagged when some have an obvious gripe with Ken Richey. It seems on this occasion he has done well, possibly Max Clifford 'leaked ' the story as it is also in the tabloids.Well Done Ken dare i say...
33

Dragonlord,

Firstly the woman should have had her own supply of medication, and for someone who is not medically qualified, to administer a drug is illegal. He could have killed her ( oh! he's not new to that is he?) even basic fist aid condems useing drugs without perscription, and when the paramedics arrived they would not know how much she had taken.Ok he MAY just have saved this woman but what about next time or someone else trying to emulate this act? Until the medical profession say he did right then he was WRONG!! A very dangerous prescedent here.

Or is it because she is someones Aunt Gina ?

33# (Fist Aid)

All big Ritchy has done is save a life and you have pinned attempted murder on him as well as sexual assualt.

Give him a break.

As for Dickens it's a dump simple as that. No gripe with anyone who goes there each to there own. Just not for me thank you.
41

James (1),

04/02/2008 15:50:00
#33 you are right! Firstly she should have looked after her health when she was younger and exercised more. Then she would not have needed to have the medication you say she should be carrying. This was just an accident waiting to happen. Because she did not have it she would have died and Richey giving her his could have killed her twice. With regard to someone emulating his act. I don’t think people will be carrying inhalers and following Ms Wilson around. I mean surely she will take her medication with her after this fright?

In all seriousness, the guy is free and was not proved guilty.

Run free Andy Ritchie , you can live your life and even play for Morton again.

Good luck mate, but after three thousand years behind bars , do you actually want to waste time in Dickens ?

Run free Andy.

Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free

(Stay free, where no walls divide you)
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free

#30 I do love it when the Torley Version is quoted as if it were fact. The thing about the Torley Version is that it omits a whole lot of facts to make a very one-sided story. Tain't the truth.

Still, at least Lionel wasn't passed out under a bush when Mrs Wilson was saved. So we can definitely place him at the scene of this crime - sorry, heroic act.

#39 No, dummy. The medication he gave her is used to treat angina and the woman was reported as resting at home. Most likely, they didn't even keep her for more than a couple of hours.

40# This could easily have ended in the person being killed.( there is no proof she would have died without richey's aid.)

37# I said as much in my post.It is illegal to administer prescription drugs to anyone, other than the patient they were given to.

Dragonlord - whether or not Richey was right to administer a prescribed drug to somebody, can it not be recognised that he did it with good intentions, only trying to help?

Or are you such a mindless bureaucrat (I'm aware I have probably spelt that wrong), that you were behind the decision to discipline the fireman who jumped into the river to help a drowning person(sorry for the lack of specifics there, but im sure most people read about that)

# 43. The facts I talk of are a matter of record. Quoted from Toledo Blade which I did find on Torley.org site .

I found the site and the content of the court information very informative.

http://kennyrichey.org/images/stories/kenny/pdfs/toledo_blade_articles.pdf



"Mr. Nichols saw Richey run around a corner of the building and up the stairs
to Ms. Collins's apartment, where firefighters were attempting to enter through the open door.
He heard Richey shout, ``There's a baby in there! There's a baby in there!''
``I never saw anyone freak out like he was,'' Mr. Nichols recalls. Several firefighters had to
restrain Richey from entering the apartment, which was engulfed in flames and smoke.
``He was pulling. He was struggling,'' says Keith Hartoon, a Columbus Grove fire
department volunteer, adding that once Richey calmed down he pointed firefighters to
Cynthia's bedroom.
And what if Richey had succeeded in entering the apartment? ``If you took one hit of that
air you knew if you took two you'd be dead,'' Mr. Hartoon says."

What about that statement do you morons not understand??
Unless you garbage mouths have never ever done anything wrong, then you need to zip-it....you are giving opinions on something you know nothing about unless you were at the scene of both incidents? were you? I think NOT.....

Not a word from you wishing Gina a fast recovery...nice, very nice....only derogatory statements about people and a pub, maybe it's a nice local, not fancy, but friendly and a good pint....

Richey, admittedly not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, at least acted, placing himself in danger
if he had got it wrong, from all you hand wringing,
know nothing critics, who would have stood around criticising the woman for not carrying her medication.
He ascertained she was on the same medication as him, so she was hardly going to be allergic to it, she didn't have it, he did, he did what he could, and helped. What would you do in similar circumstances, stand around debating a dubious point of law, as to the legality of administering drugs, and let the woman
die, as he obviously thought she was, crack sick wee jokes, discuss how this could be a set up to get Richey
publicity, come on what would you do you sad narrow little people. Richey has done more than his time for the crimes he admits to, and it looks like he may have even tried to save the wee lass he was accused of killing. Until you have suffered what he has and known the pain of a heart condition get of his case and on your own, you all need more help than him.

#51 Excellent. You quote from more of Torley's version to prove that I was right. :-)

You perhaps didn't understand what I said? Torley certainly quotes facts - but only selected facts, those which cast Richey in the best light. What you are reading is a campaign site. The only reason that set of articles is quoted from - and they are quotes re-edited by Torley, not copies of the originals - is that they were written as part of her PR campaign, and support her version.

She posts no copies of the many sources which conflict with her version of the truth.

She's done very well. Her version is about the only thing you'll find on the web about Richey. But that doesn't make it the whole truth.
57

One who knows,

04/02/2008 20:43:41
#56 If you actually looked at the work Torley has done, then you will see she has used court documents and witnesses statements. And they are all on the site.

The sources of both sides are on the site and what I posted was from the Toledo Blade and did supply the link. I also supplied the link to the trial transcripts. There is also the prosecution side on there too in the court document section.
So those articles are the courts opinions, a pro death penalty newspaper opinion and articles and there are original documents on the site. you probably just havent looked properly.

Once again, he did not save her life. She had angina - which is a temporary reduction of blood flow to the heart. While painful, it is not the same as a heart attack. Misrepresenting this as a life-threatening episode with Saint Kenny to the rescue is b.s. But, it is what we have come to expect from Richey supporters.

Well that's your opinion and you are entitled to it!
Dont like my posts, simple,..Don't read them!
I am NOT saying it did NOT happen, but I am NOT a member of the 'Green-Club' and don't believe all I hear.

It Soo happened, Kenny was in the pub, when this Lady Soo happened to have an, "suspected heart attack."
It Soo happened, Kenny had his medication, (which by the way clearly states, don't share with anyone) with him, then being the Doctor he now is! saves this Lady!
On top of that, why was he in a pub, if he has a heart condition, likewise the Lady that was allegedly saved.?
It all sound rather..'far-fetched' to me!
Again Not saying, it did not happen, but if,

#57 The sources of both sides are most certainly not on the Torley site. How could you possibly make that assertion? From the top down the site is designed to persuade you of Richey's innocence. The facts reproduced are carefully selected to support that hypothesis.

All I'm saying is that if you want to understand what happened here, don't get all your information from a totally partial source.

To use the phrasing of one global village idiot to attack another. It Soo happens that PV happens to find a mobile phone which Soo happened to belong to a barmaid who just Soo happened to work in the pub in question, and he Soo happens to declare it an unfit establishment because of what he read in the messages on someone elses mobile.
What does that Soo happen to say about him if we are to
believe him. There is no need to read the messages on a mobile to ascertain whose it is, you simple minded gossiping eejit. It also Soo happens that that which you allegedly read on the phone you allegedly found is not indicitive of the nature of the establishment. So what if this barmaid was allegedly lesbian the place could be full of them it does not make it a rough pub.
Please post a list of pubs you frequent so that I may know which ones not to go to.
Charlie boy if an article takes my interest I read it
and as far as possible the responses before posting my
own, no matter what the responses contain, if someone
has taken the time to pass an opinion the least I can do is the courtesy of reading what they say, how else
do you expect I can respond to articles or postings, that really is just Soo juvenile of you.

i notice that theres not many replies and have never been about the facts of the case! although some remarks. i find it very unusual to find a mobile fone and read the txts, surely thats an invasion of privacy?if i found one (which i have a few times) what did i do? what i think is the sensible thing to do, hand it in to the police!once when i found one on a bus it rang and i met the young lady who lost it. how easy is that?anyway the facts are the facts obviously going completely un read and ignored just to try and be judge and jury (god forbid that some of the above ever get selected for jury service!!)oh and btw pv, so what if a pub is full of people who sexuality isnt quite the same as yours? does that make them criminals? everyone to their own (in my opinion as long as it doesnt interfere with me or mine)

73)The reason for little about the case, is that there have been several articles about same before his release the pros and cons of the case were well discussed then and it became apparent to me that the respondents who wished him ill were never going to accept any evidence which exonerated him, I would suggest his supporters now, that he is released, have got fed up casting pearls before blind swine, who refuse to see. Justice of a sort has been done and he is now free for his detractors to belittle and ridicule, without realising that it is really themselves they belittle and ridicule. Would that they had even half the strength of character Richey is imbued with.

I was in this dump on Sunday night and have to say it's hell on earth! Not to mention the two dogs who "serve" behind the bar...hideous!

#72 ". . . that really is just Soo juvenile of you."

As is your use of run on sentences, your lack of proper capitalization, and your repeated mis-spelling of "so" as "Soo."

O.K. Proper Charlie, sam t., or whatever other nom de plume you chose to operate under you must know that the
irritating use of the spelling "Soo" starts in post 67
which is not one of mine. I was paraphrasing this, so why don't you post a critical posting to your alter ego.
As to my grammatical skills, that is my problem at least
I usually address the issue, until I get such pedantry
from a schitzophrenic.

#77 Your paranoia is showing. I've only posted under the name of "sam t." If you won't communicate effectively, why are you bothering to post? It's rude to expect others to decipher your gibberish.

Maybe some people should read all the facts about Kenny Richeys case before they make a judgement. At the end of the day, he helped a woman in need, maybe if it was you or one of your family that he helped, your opinion would be different. Give the guy a chance!

Oh come ON.

What would you people be saying if he had found out she needed this stuff, had some in his pocket, and refused to give her any?

Richey had his wits about him. He obviously asked the woman what medicine she used. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Does it really matter whose name was on the bottle?

If someone had an asthma attack in front of me, would I hand over my Ventolin? Of course I would.

If someone was spurting blood from an artery, would I try and stop the flow or say, hey, I'm no medic, I think I'll just let them bleed to death.

And what if the woman had been saved by a tiny relative? Would you be saying oh, that kid should have waited for the paramedics? No, you'd be writing slushy messages about hero kiddies.

Give the guy a break.

But she didn't need it. She had angina. It is not fatal. An ambulance was in route. Richey is not a licensed physician. You don't get to make up your own facts.
