Katrina receives praise for saving a woman’s life

A facility manager praised Katrina for being in the right place at the right time to save a woman’s life.

The facility manager said, “Yesterday, Katrina and some colleagues went to dinner. Katrina happened to pull into the wrong parking lot, but as she turned to leave, a man, seeing her in her office scrubs, grabbed her and took her to his truck, where his wife sat slouched over, foaming at the mouth. Katrina leaped into action and laid the woman down to do chest sternum rubs and check for a response. There was none, nor was there a pulse, so Katrina started doing chest compressions, and the woman came to. By that time, Katrina’s colleagues had assisted by calling EMS. The doctor later arrived and spoke with EMS to inform them he did not think it had been a cardiac event. The couple was from out of town, and newlyweds, and had no idea where they were. The husband called Katrina his angel. He stopped by today to let me know what Katrina did for him and his wife and how grateful is. He said from us, to EMS, to our hospital, he had not been at another place that has provided this level of care and attentiveness. He said we are top notch!”

Katrina, your quick action and care made all the difference for that man and his wife. Thank you for everything you do! ...
