GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — It was a scare that sent a shockwave through the halls of WOOD TV8 in mid-November: Tom Hillen suffered a seizure in his office and stopped breathing.
Fresh off of our CPR training here at the station, co-workers jumped into action and were able to get Tom breathing again. He soon recovered and is back to work.
