The patient was brought to ROSC and has made a full recovery thanks to Erin's quick skills.
Erin had three remarkable instances in less than one week where her strengths truly shone through. While attending the Alabama vs. Missouri game as a spectator, she first assisted someone with a head injury. On her way back from helping that person, she was called to aid the EMS worker who had assisted with the head injury patient. When she reached the EMS worker, who was also a spectator at the game, he had gone into cardiac arrest, and Erin had to perform CPR. She was immensely grateful for our RQI training here! The patient was brought to ROSC and has made a full recovery thanks to Erin's quick skills.

A few days after the game, Erin was on her way to work and witnessed a car accident. She approached the scene, initially thinking a truck had hit a deer, only to realize it was a motorcyclist who had been struck. Erin stayed with the injured motorcyclist and assisted until EMS arrived on the scene. Erin happened to be in the right place at the right time on three separate occasions, and she is undoubtedly someone's angel!
