Lucas Harper went above and beyond to save a patient's life. A man came to the ER with complaints of chest pain. Lucas recognized the patient was having a heart attack after looking at the patient's EKG. He went to get a doctor and locate a bed. When the nurse returned to get the patient, he was gone. He was only gone a few minutes. All the phone numbers on the patient's chart were not accurate. So Lucas called the police and an ambulance to go to the patient's house. The patient was returned back to the ER via ambulance. Within 20 minutes he was sent to the Cath Lab.
Lucas worked so hard to save this patient and he was successful. What a fantastic person!
