Mr. Awesome Saves A life!
September 18, 2009True story! Yesterday i was doing chest and i was about 30 minutes into my workout…. i had just racked Db’s from incline press, when out the courner of my eye i see a "man down"! i mean he dropped like he was hit by Tyson(young-Mike 1986), i man like he was hit in the neck by a poison dart from a ninja, he just missed hitting the rack by 2 feet….. He was a older hispanic guy probaly around late 40’s or into his 50’s about 5′7 over 300 pounds
Okay, so i am about 2 benchs over, he drops!… i am on him in about 5 seconds. taping his back , "Mr. are you ok", no response… so i rolled him over(that wasnt easy, didnt want to move him to much but i had to sort of get him rocking, cause 300 pounds dead weight is hard to roll over) so i get him turned over and jump right into CPR, i got the "chest pumps" going and made my calls for "help, call 911, get me some cold water and towels..get his feet up"..it was all instinics, "all the training and videos" where playing in slow motion in my head… another guy joined me andbegin to try to get a pulse, has i pumped… he was shaking and white foam had begin to come from his mouth.. i could see the light leave his eyes and he lost his pulse…no heart beat, so i started pumping fatser and harder..then he came back and begin to struggle again..fighting for life..the other guy that was helping me was checking his pulse through the hip cause we couldnt get a pulse from neck or arm..he was to large… i have a friend of mine hold his legs up because he was to far from the weight benchs to prop him up.. then his legs begin to shake bad and my boys starts saying "i think he is giving up"..so i begin talking and pumping more..then we lose him again! so we started working even harder… pumping harder or cold towels , clearing wind pipe stuff like that.
Not sure how much time has passed after this but there was no help from the 24 staff, no fire department, no ambulance, no police… so we bring him back again.. this time he started spitting and white foam coming from his mouth… i was just talking to him, trying to keep him looking at me with his lost eyes and short breath…finally someone shows up with the defebulator… so we get him hooked up and deliver a charge..he shakes and comes sort of comes back..we begin chest compressions again.. and he finally snaps! and gives me a look of life,,,i closed my eyes and thanked God for not letting him die in my hands… so we stabilize him and finally the ambulance comes and 3 of the 5 were fatter then the guy who had just passed out…geeeezzzzz, when does it stop! this changed my life and i hope the story will help or change others also
God that was awesome…Now everyine was joking and calling me a hero.. but I am glad to just be able to help!
Stay Strong
