This stinks...

[Katie]

There was no mention of myself or the other Old Navy employee that were also there assisting with the CPR. I did the stablization of the head, and she did chest compressions.


On August 06, 2006 St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a person-not-breathing in the parking lot of the Old Navy Store on Worth Avenue in California Maryland. Deputy Anthony Whipkey arrived and found Todd Adam Terwilliger, a 40 year old white male, unconscious and not breathing. Mr. Terwilliger was receiving CPR from a bystander. The Good Samaritan was later identified as Edward Conroy of Mechanicsville.

Lexington Park Rescue Squad Ambulance 388 arrived shortly after and took over care of the victim. The victim was later transported to Washington Hospital Center in serious condition.

I think its great you were there to help. Just don't expect our local news to be as competant.

 

[Katie]

Whoever gave me negative karma you can kiss my butt, because you know what I would have done it no matter what people think. We worked as a TEAM on this man. I wouldn't have even said anything had the news gotten it wrong. It was a TEAM effort, not a single heroic effort.

 

[Katie]

And for the 2nd negative karma hit on why it stinks. Not that the poor man didn't need our help, but that news didn't get it right.

Again, I would do it again, just report the news correctly that is all.

Reason...I worded it incorrectly.

 

[John Z]

I heard about that on the radio this morning. Good job! You helped save a life; I'd be walking on air right now.

I appreciate your heroic efforts for the patient sake-but it is about the PATIENT.
BTW-did the patient survive??
Thank you for for being there and knowing the correct thing to do.

 

[Katie]

Yes he did.

 

[Lilypad]

Yes he did.

Well there ya go! Great job!

Good samaritans are hard to find these days. Good for you. Take the rest of the day off with pay.

 

[Ponytail]

Get used to it Katie. Good on ya for being there to help, but you can't ever expect to be thanked for doing it, in any form. You should be proud of yourself and call it good.

If the news had to mention all of the "good samaritons" everytime someone fell over, or at an accident scene, or where ever/when ever an ambulance was called, we'd never hear anything of real importance.

What do you expect?.... The news was from The BayNet

 

[buddy999]

Yes he did.

Way to go Girl!! The world needs more people like you. Some people would hesitate to do anything for fear of a lawsuit.

The newspapers didn't acknowlege your efforts but I bet if you sent the guy a card, wishing him well, he'd appreciate the gesture.

Doing a good job around here is like peeing yourself while wearing dark pants. It gives you a warm feeling but no one seems to notice.

How do I manage to avoid all of these people that walk around smelling like urine?

Maybe we should take time to thank people like our volunteer fire fighters and volunteer rescue folks that do this, without thanks, alot of the time.

Nah. They'd suspect we were up to something.

True, like a free ride in the front seat with the lights and siren

They HATE it when I sit in the lap of the driver. They're SO afraid of winding up with their pictures in the paper.

 

[Purplefox]

Yes he did.

Congrats on a job well done. You yourself know that you were part of something that, in the end, made a huge difference in this mans life. It is heartening to know that at the end of the day there are still many people willing to lend a helping hand.

Sometimes I think that our technology has so far passed our humanity that only during times of trial are we faced with what we (as a species) are really made of. I think basic human nature is still good.

In other words, sometimes, the glass really is half full!
