Yes ex paramedic ,great feeling when it all comes together its a great buzz.but there are always some you can do nothing for and that's a great low and even with all the skills you have and equipment you get very frustrated.All respect to Joe public if they succeed with little of anything.Don't forget that you save someones life every day by your actions,Safe driving for instance.

I rescued a toddler on 42nd street from running into the road while her mum and friend was still in the shop. I didn't know which was mum/ friend obviously and gave her to the friend, you should have heard her yell at the mum!! So not really a true save, but had the potential to be!

Yes....did the Heimlich maneuver on a woman on the floor who'd already turned blue by the time I got to her. She'd swallowed a large chunk of roast beef that lodged in her airway. Found out later she was just fine after being checked at the hospital.

yes, i stopped i guy, a stranger, from "jumping" i don't think i took it too seriously at the time, as he was really lost and depressed and i thought he would just try again some other time... he saw me about 6mths later and came up to me and thanked me for saving his life, not only from jumping.... but the experience helped him get his life back together again.
i can't tell you how good that feels to know that you have really managed to help someone and wish i could thank him for letting me know that i did.
if he is out there watching... get in touch. brighton ncp car park.

perhaps I did. many years ago when I was in grade 12, everyone waiting for the school bus would rush it as it pulled up. a boy around 12 yrs old was pushed down under the bus as it was still moving. I managed to pull him out by his jacket collar just before the front wheel was gonna roll over him. I think I was as scared as he was

Yes. I was working in a factory,and this kid nearly cut his hand off. I wrapped the wound up, and held direct pressure all the way to the hospital. We had to ride in the back of a pickup truck and it was cold outside.When we finally got to the hospital, the stupid admissions nurse insisted on seeing the wound. I unwrapped his hand, and guess what spewed all over her desk?

I will not go that far. However as a member of the St Johns I have been involved in situations that may have been fatal had we not intervened.

Yes - an 82 year old hit and run victim who turned out to be my friends great uncle. Unfortunately he died a few days later in hospital.
(Basically - I cleared blood and teeth out his mouth and opened his airway)

I don't think so. The closest I've probably come is making sure someone who is suicidal got help, but I'll never know if they really would have done it or not.
