That you love someone so much that you would risk you're own life for... That you would not even think about yourself, and jump straight into a situation... That you would disregard your own limitations... No time to think, no time to consider the situation, just a pure reaction...
That happened last night. For a mother who could not swim... whose child was splashing in a pool.
Imagine now... the intelligence of a child that knew his mother was in trouble and knew there was absolutely no way that they could help their mother, except to go seek another adult's help, running out of backyard/pool area to a neighbors house, being able to explain the situation in such a manner that the adult understood...
That happened last night. For a child whose mother just got them out of the pool.
Now imagine... the foresight of an adult, running and responding to emergency, to call 911 as they made their way to there... who got there, pulled their neighbor out of the pool, and immediately began CPR...
That happened last night.
The rapid response of the EMS/Fire crews... the quick interventions... the decision to rapidly transport via helicopter to the closest facility better equipped to handle this emergency. To the ED Doctor, RNs, the Lab Tech, the Respiratory Tech, the Rad Techs, the ED Pharmacist, the ED Tech, and the HUC...
That happened last night.
I was the primary ED Nurse.
That's what happened last night.
