“After the third shock was administered, the man began to resist compressions, a sign that he was coming back to life.”
The man was rushed to the hospital in stable condition with a pulse and breathing on his own. His life had been saved.
"After saving someone’s life the sensation of euphoria I got wouldn’t let me sleep."
"All-in-all, the woman was fully conscious and alert about 30 or so minutes after I had arrived. I couldn’t believe it.”
"When Shabbat ended, I called my old neighbor and told him that the defibrillator he had donated just helped save another life."
"We saved a life that day, and I would do it again in a heartbeat, even knowing the risk.”
I can’t explain the feeling I had as I drove my ambucycle back home and walked into my living room to see my family still waiting for me.
