Yesterday my sweet husband decided he would read up on strokes in his CPR book for some reason.
It was a good thing he did.
A guy came running in Maverick yesterday yelling, "Does anyone here know CPR?" Chris said he did and followed him out.
An older lady was having a stroke and Chris took charge. He made sure someone called 911 and then proceeded to take care of the woman and the situation in general.
A bystander tried her hand at heroism but could not find a pulse to no avail. Chris assured her she had one but her heart rate was only about 15 beats per minute. The ambulance from SLC arrived right away and had a train horn on it and showed it off trying to get in the parking lot (Chris' station is the busiest in the company, so it was crowded) because this idiot and his car were blocking the way in. Chris' said his ears were still ringing by the time he got home hours later.
The paramedics called back later saying the lady was alive when they handed her over to the ER but that was the last they knew. Lehi paramedics showed up ten minutes after SLC left, Chris told the SLC paramedic that when he called and they said she definitely would have died if she had to wait for them. Way to go Lehi.
Just a few days earlier Chris saved the day but we can't talk about it due to possible legal issues. Just know this when I asked the hero for comments he replied with,
"We're going to need a bigger boat, we're going to need a bigger boat!"
