He was technically dead,&amp;#8221; said Dr Silva.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Once we got him on the beach, I just said to another guy. &amp;#8216;Help me. I know what to do, I&amp;#8217;m a doctor&amp;#8217;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We started CPR and worked on him for 20 minutes until the ambulance arrived and I helped put a tube in his mouth to help him breathe easier.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everyone was scared because he didn&amp;#8217;t look well.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Mr Woodcock regained then lost his pulse and breathing three times during the 20 minutes and Dr Silva said he was prepared to keep working on him for &amp;#8216;as long as I had to&amp;#8217;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A lifeguard came in to help but I said it was OK because I know what I&amp;#8217;m doing,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I used to work in the intensive care unit in Brazil so I had to do this kind of thing all the time.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m a doctor. This is what I do. I wouldn&amp;#8217;t say I&amp;#8217;m a hero.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everyone that was there just did their best and I&amp;#8217;m glad I could help in whatever way that I could.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Dr Silva said that after Mr Woodcock had been taken away in the ambulance, onlookers said &amp;#8216;they just couldn&amp;#8217;t believe what I&amp;#8217;d done&amp;#8217;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With all the stories that have been going around at the moment about local surfers and Brazilians, people were a little bit shocked that I had helped out,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
