I brought my husband to the Emergency Room where the staff immediately started evaluating him and found him to be in cardiac distress. Everyone was professional and caring. While getting more equipment and calling for the Cath Lab Doctor, my husband went into cardiac arrest. Erika immediately jumped in, started doing chest compressions and saved his life. She then took the time to talk to me and calm me down.
