My wife is my hero (saved two lives today)

That's awesome!

She's my hero too......... How fucking gay......shut the fuck up.

Don't really have any details yet. The one that was air evacuated might not survive.

Karma's a bitch, bet your life is shit.

That's great news

Karma's a bitch, bet your life is shit.

Did your hero tell you to type that? Nope, life rocks!!! You are shit though.

Seek psychological help immediately, there is something very wrong with your attitude.

Well done but that is her job.

She prob does it once/twice a week anyways.

She spent a lot of years in labor and delivery and now she is at a family practice. She never worked trauma or an ER. So this was a little out of her comfort zone.

I once did CPR on a big Hawaiian guy in Hilo. I had gone for coffee and noticed the waitresses all looking out the open door thru pouring rain at a man laying face down in 6 inches of water. As soon as I saw the problem I telles orders to the women !"YOU call 911 NOW"! "You you you come with me!! As I pulled table cloths off tables to make a tent over the man as I did CPR. He had had a heart attack and gashed his head falling face first. Anyway, I was glad my highschool first aid class info had lodged in my memory enough to be useful. I wonder if he was mad I helped bring him back from the tunnel of light.

Yelled not telles

Did you ever get a chance to talk to him after you saved him?

It takes courage and you should be very proud that you had it in you to do something while others did nothing.

I had some first aid classes that where required to coach hockey. They taught us

to do something even if it might not be right.

-bet your wife wouldn't have responded so harshly...just sayin'

She would never use a bad word and would of ignored the comment. Sorry if it offended anyone other than who it was directed at.

FIRST RESPONDERS DONT GET NEARLY ENOUGH CREDIT FOR THE JOBS WE DO...I would love to be a Care Flight Paramedic. I had the opportunity to ride in Care flight and just loved it! I would imagine Paramedics in MB stay VERY busy. I am in a smaller town and absolutely LOVE what I do.
FANTASTIC JOB TO YOUR WIFE & HER FRIEND!!!(just wait until she gets to deliver her first baby carside!!...She will be on top of the world)

No I did not get to talk to him. The scariest part for me was wondering if his neck might be broken from the fall, as i rolled him on his back and cleared his airway etc. This all happened at night in the heaviest downpour I have ever experienced. When thé ambulance rolled up a tsunami of rainwater flooded over us.

okay. Ive NEVER had time to make a pup tent for someone I was administering CPR too...If they were too bloody the ones that didn't want to see it just turned away. But GOOD JOB on resuscitation. You really should take a refresher course, so much has changed in administering CPR from even just a few yrs ago. I recommend everybody know to administer CPR because you just never know!

ray, don't let them get ya down...the "nay sayers" here are the type who only whip out their cellphones to vid the "action"...they ain't worth shit in my book

tell the wife "many thanks" the injured could have been anyone of us.

TRAUMA RAWKS!! It what I am fascinated with the most. I LOVE Trauma.

Good on her man! Most RN's and Doctors are absolutely fuckin worthless when it comes to trauma, they are far too comfortable working in their sterile environment taping prescriptions to patients as they roll around the carousel of what has become our pitiful medical system.

Glad she got to make a difference outside her normal environment.

So she flys helipcopters too.

Yes, because the drugs and medical staff at the hospital did nothing.

The 3 waitresses held the table cloth to shield him from the rain, after I screamed orders at them. I don't know how anyone could just watch instead if help.

For your wife! I work in cardiac care and am trained in CPR, but I have NEVER had to do it. Good for your wife and friend, I hope if I'm ever in that situation I don't stand there like a moron.

that reminds of the seinfeld episode right near the end there when they were arrested for watching, laughing at, and filming the fat guy getting car-jacked...funny shit!

-but yes, your wife is a very good soul, and this world is in definite need of more such souls!!!

I'm curious OP, in this "I better not get involved or I might get sued" society we live in.. did it occur to her at all to NOT do anything? Ask her when you see her will you?

Give her a hug.. Great to be in the right place at the right time! It's encouraging to know there are still people with real heart among us

She turned her car off and ran without a thought of being sued.

Most states have "Good Samaratin (SP)laws, so you can't get sued for helping somenone.
