More about Steve...
An electrical contractor collapsed while on an elevated platform. Others in the plant saw him fall, notified Steve and called 911. Steve rushed to the scene with an AED in hand. He initiated 2 rescue breaths and started CPR. Once the AED was in place, one shock was administered. CPR resumed. On the third set of 30/2, the man began breathing on his own. Oxygen was administered until EMS could arrive. When the man was wheeled out of the plant, his pulse was strong and his blood pressure good. Doctors said every effort performed at the plant contributed to a complete recovery. They indicated this man had one in a 100,000 chances to make this kind of come back!
Steve shared, "The years of trining just kicked in! I still get choked up just thinking about it!"
