Nice Job!
I was working a little late yesterday at our offices when a gentleman walked into the station and said he wanted to thank the crew that recently took him to the hospital. He gave me his name and we determined that specific crew wasn't working today. He asked me to pass on to them a "thank you". He told me that a terrible headache suddenly overcame him a few weeks ago. He called 911 and our EMTs and Paramedics quickly determined he likely was having a stroke. He wanted to go to hi
s "regular" hospital, but our team informed him he should go to a hospital with a Comprehensive Stroke Center - off they went to that specialty hospital. The gentleman tells me he spend several days in the hospital, but he went home with barely any deficits and says his positive outcome wouldn't have been possible without the care and advice he received from our team. Thank you to Lt. Borchert, Firefighter/Medics Schoessow, Wucherer, Newville and Firefighter/EMT Schneider. It was a great way to end my day - Chief Whitaker
