Three weeks later Phillip did meet his heroes to thank them for saving his life. I started reading that bit and thought it was going to say Philip met his maker. Lol

I guess. though, he will be on heart medication of some sort now, to prevent this from happening again, as he was lucky this time that he was saved without major damage to his heart.

Most likely Phillip will be on heart medication for now after the incident.
