Sydney Morning Herald published an article entitled 'Homeless man helps save heart victim' on 03.07.06. The article explained that the unidentified 'shabbily-dressed' homeless man demonstrated sophisticated medical knowledge as he compassionately assisted with a heart-attack victim.

The article, written by Jano Gibson, was recommended by readers for its balanced and responsible reporting of issues of homelessness and mental illness. 

Ms Gano quoted St Vincent's Hospital's emergency department director, who said that it was not surprising a homeless man would have such skills. 'A lot of people who are out on the streets have mental health problems, and just because you've got a mental health problem doesn't mean you are stupid or you are not educated'.
