Dr Meena was given cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately after she collapsed while speaking at a neurology conference. She was rushed to St Bartholomew’s Hospital, but all efforts to revive her failed.
Meanwhile, the doctors community have come up with a list of suggestions to follow in order to avoid a similar condition.
